HBase Installation Guide
Environment Setup
Install Java 1.6+ version. Install latest Apache stable build. Download HBase stable version.
HBase Installation
Download the stable version of HBase. In our case it is HBase 0.94.16.
Execute following command to download HBase 0.94.
wget http http://mirror.nexcess.net/apache/hbase/hbase‐0.94.16/hbase‐0.94.16.tar.gz
Unzip the compressed hbase file by executing the following command:
tar –xvzf hbase‐0.94.16.tar.gz
Login as root and create a directory “hbase”, Change the ownership of this directory to the hadoop user “hduser” and group “hadoop”. This is done mainly for our convenience, to differentiate each framework, software and application with different users. Execute the following commands
cd /usr/local mkdir hbase chown ‐R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/hbase
Copy the unzipped hbase binaries into /usr/local/hbase folder
mv hbase‐0.94.16 /usr/local/hbase
Start HBase by executing the following command.
./bin/start‐hbase.sh starting Master, logging to logs/hbase‐user‐master‐example.org.out
Hbase is now set up and is ready for further use. HBase logs can be found in the logs subdirectory. Check them out especially if it seems HBase had trouble starting. Stop HBase by executing the following command.
./bin/stop‐hbase.sh stopping hbase...............
HBase Shell
Once the HBase server is started, it is ready to be used.
Connect to HBase shell by executing the following command
./bin/hbase shell HBase Shell; enter 'help' for list of supported commands. Type "exit" to leave the HBase Shell Version 0.94.16, r1557241, Fri Jan 10 20:43:03 UTC 2014 hbase(main):001:0>
row1 column=cf:a, timestamp=1288380727188, value=value row2 column=cf:b, timestamp=1288380738440, value=value row3 column=cf:c, timestamp=1288380747365, value=value 3 row(s) in 0.0590 seconds
To get a single row from table, execute the following command
hbase(main):008:0> get 'test', 'row1' COLUMN CELL cf:a timestamp=1288380727188, value=value 1 row(s) in 0.0400 seconds
To exit from hbase shell, execute the following command
hbase(main):008:0> exit
