Installing HBase 0.94.x

on a Multi-node cluster with Ubuntu 14.04

Sabeur Aridhi

Introduction

This tutorial is a sequel of of Matteo Lissandrini's "Installing HDFS and Hadoop 2.X on a Multi-node cluster with Ubuntu 14.0.

That guide can also be used to install Hadoop 1.x (with minor if none modification); in this work we will assume that you have followed that tutorial and have installed Hadoop 1.x and HDFS.

Even thought HBase 0.94.x can run against both Hadoop 1.x and 2.x versions (see HBase 0.94 book) we highly recommend to use Hadoop 1.x for HBase 0.x and Hadoop 2.x for HBase 1.x and 2.x.

We wish also to inform you that also this tutorial can be applied to HBase 1.x and 2.x (with minor if none modification).

Installing

The following steps will be needed only once. Download HBase 0.94.X stable, to do so navigate in the List of Mirrors select one and decide which version to download. For the sake of simplicity from now on we will assume tho have chosen version 0.94.27.
For example wget can be used:

# from eu
wget https://www.eu.apache.org/dist/hbase/hbase-0.94.27/hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz
# from us
wget https://www.us.apache.org/dist/hbase/hbase-0.94.27/hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz

Then extract the tar to the final installation directory, fix also permission and create a version agnostic symlink.
In this tutorial we will use the standard /usr/local/ as installation directory but obviously you are free to chose the one you prefer.

# extract & copy
sudo tar -zxf hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
# fix permission
sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/hbase-hbase-0.94.27/
# create symlink
sudo ln -s /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27/ /usr/local/hbase

If your system crashes and you cannot find files in the Minidump folder, check the root of your Windows drive.

If you navigate to these folders and find them empty, it is usually due to one of the following reasons identified by Microsoft Support Disabled Write Settings: The system isn't configured to write debugging information. Small Page File:
