⁠What is Apache HBase?

Apache HBase™ is the Hadoop database, a distributed, scalable, big data store.

Use Apache HBase™ when you need random, realtime read/write access to your Big Data. This project's goal is the hosting of very large tables -- billions of rows X millions of columns -- atop clusters of commodity hardware. Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database modeled after Google's Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the Google File System, Apache HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Hadoop and HDFS.

⁠How to use this image

⁠Environment variables:

⁠Master

• MASTER_HOSTNAME - master hostname advise, should match with container name
• ZOOKEEPER_QUORUM - zookeeper quorum

⁠Regionserver

• REGIONSERVER_HOSTNAME - regionserver hostname advise, should match with container name
• ZOOKEEPER_QUORUM - zookeeper quorum

⁠Example

You could use preconfigured master/regionserver/zookeeper example:

$ docker-compose up

⁠Where to store data

Both master/regionserver use /data folder to store data, make sure that both paths mapped as volumes into single shared directory.
