Setup a "distributed" HBase cluster. On each node that runs TaskTracker and Datanode, also run a HBase RegionServer.
On the node that runs JobTracker and Namenode, run the HBase Master. There is a getting started guide here. http://hbase.apache.org/book/notsoquick.html Check out the HBase user list for more. http://hbase.apache.org/mail-lists.html On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 4:58 PM, gaurav garg <[email protected]>wrote: > Praveenesh, > > I will recommend you to read the google Big Table paper( > http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html) which is a foundation for the > hbase. > Terminology is little different though: > > Mapping of terms(not exhaustive): > *********************************** > Big Table Hbase > *********************************** > Master Server HMaster > Tablet region > Tablet server regionserver > chubby zookeeper (It is apache implementation of > distributed > synchronization server) > > Hbase stores data on hadoop dfs. hbase is a client of hdfs.
