echo "$md5_hash"
echo "get 'VIZVR_profile','md5_hash'" | "hbase shell"

hbase.sh: line 5: hbase: command not found
hbase.sh: line 5: : command not found

Updating the 5th line in your script to the below line should solve the problem:

echo "get 'VIZVR_profile','md5_hash'" | hbase shell

Explain

When you execute the following command:

echo "get 'VIZVR_profile','md5_hash'" | "hbase shell"

The echo command is piped into the following command "hbase shell"

The problem here, is that there is no command named "hbase shell"

The command is hbase with parameter shell

Removing the quote should solve the problem (assuming that hbase is in your path).

Note: You might need to replace hbase in the 5th line the script with full/path/to/hbase
