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

Chhupa Rustam Afsomali ((install)) (2025)

Cali Bari untied one hand and drew a curved dagger. "I will make it quick, herder."

“Chhupa Rustam Afsomali” is more than slang; it is a cultural manifesto. It rejects the Western ideal of the overt, muscular hero in favor of the Eastern appreciation for hilm (restraint) and tadbir (strategy). The mysterious “Afsomali,” whether a genuine Persian relic or a whimsical addition, adds a layer of mythical timelessness to the phrase.

The film's comedic elements are another significant aspect, with Akshay Kumar's signature humor and wit on full display. The chemistry between the lead actors is palpable, and their performances add to the movie's entertainment value. chhupa rustam afsomali

Ma jiri kartaa oo sheekada filimka ka mid ah oo aad rabto inaan si weyn ugu sii fogaano, mise waxaad doonaysaa inaad ogaato magacyada turjumaanadii caanka ku ahaa filimadan?

The success of any Afsomali movie depends heavily on the voice artist. The narrator of Chhupa Rustam uses rhythmic Somali idioms, humor, and dramatic pauses that make the viewing experience deeply engaging. Cali Bari untied one hand and drew a curved dagger

(Hindi: छुपा रुस्तम) literally translates to "Hidden Rustam," referring to the legendary Persian warrior Rustam. It is commonly used as a compliment for a "dark horse"

Filimka waxa uu leeyahay heeso aad u macaan oo xitaa haddii dadku aysan fahmin afka Hindiga, turjumaada hordhaca ah iyo laxanka ay soo jiiteen. Ma jiri kartaa oo sheekada filimka ka mid

Haddii aad qoraalkan ugu talo gashay xayeysiis filim ama sheeko: "Chhupa Rustam: Geesiga Qarsoon"

Nodes Setup

Finally configure and initialize the other cluster nodes. List the machines that will act as region server in conf/regionservers, one address per line line.

If needed update /etc/hosts according to Hadoop tutorial hints.

Once done, propagate the setup throw the cluster:

 #!/bin/bash

 # Build configured HBase tar.
 mkdir -p /tmp/distr/
 tar -czf /tmp/distr/hbase.tgz /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27

 # Distribute to each region node
 while IFS='' read -r node_ip; do
     scp /etc/hosts hduser@$node_ip:~/
     scp ~/.profile ~/.vimrc hduser@$node_ip:~/

 	scp hbase.tgz hduser@$node_ip:~/

 	ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -tt hduser@$node_ip <<EOF
 sudo mv $HOME/hosts /etc/

 # Install & link & fix permission
 sudo tar -zxf $HOME/hbase.tgz -C /
 sudo ln -s /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27 /usr/local/hbase
 sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/hbase*

 # Create zookeeper directory (even if not needed)
 sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/zookeeper
 # Fix permission
 sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/zookeeper

 # Raise the limit for max opened files (DB srv)
 sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=100000

 # Required due to -tt option
 exit
 EOF
 done < /usr/local/hbase/conf/regionservers

Start

That's the end of the journey: enjoy your new HBase cluster!

Start it running start-hbase.sh
