HBASE

Download HBASE Link

Download bin not src https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/hbase/2.0.2/hbase-2.0.2-bin.tar.gz

curl http://archive.apache.org/dist/hbase/2.0.2/hbase-2.0.2-bin.tar.gz -o hbase-2.0.2-bin.tar.gz
tar -xzvf hbase-2.0.2-bin.tar.gz
cd hbase-2.0.2

Config HBASE

hbase-env.sh

set JAVA_HOME in file conf/hbase-env.sh uncomment JAVA_HOME and set your JAVA_HOME

hbase-site.xml

change testuser to your user in your machine

best way to find your user just cd to ~(home) and run pwd for see path and copy that for replace /home/testuser

example in macOS when run pwd in home

/Users/username

in Linux

/home/username

example config hbase-site.xml

<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
    <value>file:///home/testuser/hbase</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
    <value>/home/testuser/zookeeper</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.unsafe.stream.capability.enforce</name>
    <value>false</value>
    <description>
      Controls whether HBase will check for stream capabilities (hflush/hsync).

      Disable this if you intend to run on LocalFileSystem, denoted by a rootdir
      with the 'file://' scheme, but be mindful of the NOTE below.

      WARNING: Setting this to false blinds you to potential data loss and
      inconsistent system state in the event of process and/or node failures. If
      HBase is complaining of an inability to use hsync or hflush it's most
      likely not a false positive.

  </property>
</configuration>
