问题解决

1. 翻看源码，参见参考资料3，定位到CanalAdapterLoader.java:95
2. 检查Canal-adapter application.yml

原来的配置：

canal.conf:
  mode: kafka
  canalServerHost: 127.0.0.1:11116
  zookeeperHosts: 172.16.97.56:2181,172.16.97.78:2181,172.16.97.28:2181
  mqServers: 172.16.97.56:9092,172.16.97.78:9092,172.16.97.28:9092 #or rocketmq
  flatMessage: true
  srcDataSources:
    defaultDS:
      url: jdbc:mysql://xxxx:3306/b
illcore?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
      username: xxx
      password: xxx

canalAdapters:
  - instance: xxx_test # canal instance Name or mq topic name
    groups:
    - groupId: g1
      outerAdapters:
      - name: logger
      - name: hbase

修改后配置：

canal.conf:
  mode: kafka
  canalServerHost: 127.0.0.1:11116
  zookeeperHosts: 172.16.97.56:2181,172.16.97.78:2181,172.16.97.28:2181
  mqServers: 172.16.97.56:9092,172.16.97.78:9092,172.16.97.28:9092 #or rocketmq
  flatMessage: true
  srcDataSources:
    defaultDS:
      url: jdbc:mysql://x.x.x.x:3306/b
illcore?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
      username: xxx
      password: xxx

  canalAdapters:
    - instance: xxx_test # canal instance Name or mq topic name
      groups:
      - groupId: g1
        outerAdapters:
        - name: logger
        - name: hbase
        
          

最终的问题是canalAdapters的缩进问题，导致无法读取到canalAdapters配置
