Windows HBase Installation

In the previous post, I had introduced how to install Hadoop on Windows based system. Now, I'll introduce how to install HBase on Windows.

1. Preparation:

Before the installation, let's take a look at the Hadoop-hbase suppot matrix below:

You can choose the apropriate version of HBase which are supported by your Hadoop system. Because i has installed Hadoop 2.7.1 in the previous post, so I choose to install HBase 1.3.1 which are supported by H Adoop 2.7.1.

2. Download hbase 1.3.1.tar.gz from Apache official site.

3. Unzip the hbase 1.3.1.tar.gz into your local computer.

On my computer, I unzipped in folder: C:\UserDefined\BigData\hbase-1.3.1 which is the hbase root.

4. Configuration

The configuration mainly about both files which located at %hbase_home%\conf folder hbase-site.xml Hbase-env.cmd

4.1) Hbase-site.xml

<configuration>
<property>
<!--hbase Mater address-->
<name>hbase.master</name>
<value>localhost:6000</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>hbase.master.maxclockskew</name>
<value>180000</value>
</property>
<property>
<!--hbase folder in hdfs-->
<name>hbase.rootdir</name>
<value>hdfs://localhost:9000/hbase</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>hbase.cluster.distributed</name>
<value>false</value>
</property>
<property>
<!--ZK Master address-->
<name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name>
<value>localhost</value>
</property>
<property>
<!--hbase Data folder in Zookeeper-->
<name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
<value>/hbase</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>1</value>
</property>
</configuration>

4.2) Hbase-env.cmd

Set the Java_home path.

Note:
You can use FullPath of the JDK installation root dir. Or if you are configurate the java_home path, you can also Referen Ce the system variable.

Because I has configurate the java_home variable, so I reference the system var directly.

5. Operation

5.1) Stop Hadoop if Hadoop has been started. Command as follows:

%hadoop_home%\sbin\stop-all.cmd

Note:

%hadoop_home% referes to the root dir of your Hadoop install location.

5.2) Start Hadoop using command as follows:

%hadoop_home%\sbin\start-all.cmd

Note:

%hadoop_home% referes to the root dir of your Hadoop install location.

5.3) Start hbase using command as follows:

%hbase_home%Start-hbase.cmd

Note:

%hbase_home% referes to the root dir of your hbase install location.

5.4) Start HBase restfull Service

%hbase_home%\hbase Rest Start-p 6000

Note:

%hbase_home% referes to the root dir of your hbase install location.

5.5 Start HBase Shell

%hbase_home%\hbase Shell

Note:

%hbase_home% referes to the root dir of your hbase install location.
