Hbase installation and Creating first table

HBASE Installation on UBUNTU Single Node

Pre-Requisites: --> Install Java (From Command Line: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk) --> Install VIM Editor (From Command Line: sudo apt-get install vm)

1. Download HBASE (hbase-0.94.18.tar.gz) from below http://mirror.sdunix.com/apache/hbase/stable/

2. Extract and place it in /usr/local 3. Modify hbase-site.xml,hbase-env.sh by adding java_home and path variables

hbase-site.xml (Which will be in /usr/local/hbase-0.94.18/conf) vi hbase-site.xml

Add this property in <configuration> <configuration> <property> <name>hbase.rootdir</name> <value>file:///home/sampath/hbase</value> </property> </configuration>

hbase-env.sh (Which will be in /usr/local/hbase-0.94.18/conf) vi hbase-env.sh

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 export HBASE_LOG_DIR=/usr/local/hbase-0.94.8/logs export HBASE_PID_DIR=/usr/local/hbase-0.94.8/pids

4. Modify bashrc and bashprofile

bashrc(vi ~/.bashrc)

export HBASE_HOME=/usr/local/HBASE/hbase-0.94.18 export PATH=$PATH:$HBASE_HOME/bin

bash_profile(vi ~/.bash_profile)

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin

5. Change /etc/hosts value o 127.0.1.1 to 127.0.0.1 6. Now go to hbase extract folder bin and

a. sudo ./start-hbase.sh b. sudo ./hbase shell

7. Creating an sample table in hbase create 'test','f1'

8. Test whether a table is created or not by scan 'test' to check whether table has created or not.

INSTALLATION IS SUCCESSFUL.
