If I'm not mistaken, there is no way right now to use HBase in a
"local" mode similar to the Hadoop "local" mode, where we don't have
to start any daemons and all necessary infrastructure runs inside a
single JVM. What would it take to implement such mode? Would it
require big changes to the codebase?
Checkout MinHBaseCluster. Its used in the bulk of the hbase unit
tests. It runs a master and a configurable amount of region servers
each to its own thread. Its modeled on MiniDFSCluster. If the default
mode -- i.e. if the hbase.master was set to 'local' in hbase-default.xml
-- was to run a MiniHBaseCluster instance, would this suffice Andrzej?
Or do you need master and regionservers talking to each via direct
in-process method invocations rather than over sockets as is done in
"local" mapreduce?
