HBase pseudo-cluster installation

I have been preparing a vm with Hbase installed in pseudo-cluster mode for experimental purposes. There are quite a few useful blogs on installing Hbase. I settled on the following minimum installation procedure.

I am blogging it for future reference. Hopefully it will help others too.

Before proceeding to install Hbase in pseudo cluster mode, you can check out the procedures for installing Hadoop in pseudo-cluster mode.

A few tweaks are required in OS configuration. Add the following to /etc/security/limits.conf:
  • hdfs  -       nofile  32768
  • hbase  -       nofile  32768

A few changes are required to hadoop configuration that I have mentioned earlier. Add following to hdfs-site.xml

   <property>
      <name>dfs.datanode.max.xcievers</name>
      <value>4096</value>
   </property>
