Hi Bill, I started the document in this wiki page:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Chukwa_Quick_Start There is a architecture diagram to describe the new setup. Your existing parser should work with Chukwa 0.5, and by adding Chukwa annotations to the parser, it will stream data into the HBase table. I recommend to take a look of SystemMetrics demux parser, it's a good example to follow for updating your existing parser to work with HBase. In the default chukwa-collector-conf.xml.template, there is a section for HBase configuration, uncomment it, and comment out the default seqFileWriter. Restart the collector, and data should appear in HBase. regards, Eric On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 12:59 PM, Bill Graham <[email protected]> wrote: > Eric, I'm also curious about how the HBase integration works.
