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

Buying a course on Udemy is only the first step. To truly transform your typing metrics, implement these strategic practice rules:

Then, from the drawer of the old oak desk, she heard it: the soft click of a battery-powered radio coming to life. Static. Then a voice—young, trembling, miles away.

Use the analytics provided in your Udemy course materials to track your WPM and error rates over time. Celebrate minor milestones—moving from 45 WPM to 50 WPM is a massive victory. Final Thoughts

If you double your typing speed from 40 WPM to 80 WPM, you effectively cut the time spent writing emails, reports, and documentation in half. Over a standard fiscal year, this marginal gain saves hundreds of hours of manual labor. Furthermore, looking down at your keyboard constantly disrupts cognitive flow. True touch typing allows you to focus entirely on the screen, keeping your brain engaged with the ideas rather than the mechanics of finding the letter "G". Why Choose Udemy for Keyboard Mastery?
