-----------------------------------
Summary: Extend hbase_docker to handle more useful use cases
Key: HBASE-12721
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12721
Project: HBase
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Dima Spivak
Assignee: Dima Spivak
Some simple work on using HBase with Docker was committed into /dev-support as
"hbase_docker;" all this did was stand up a standalone cluster from source and
start a shell. Now seems like a good time to extend this to be useful for
applications that could actual benefit the community, especially around
testing. Some ideas:
- Integration testing would be much more accessible if people could stand up
distributed HBase clusters on a single host machine in a couple minutes and run
our awesome hbase-it suite against it.
- Binary compatibility testing of an HBase client is easiest when standing up
an HBase cluster can be done once and then different client source/binary
permutations run against it.
- Upgrade testing, and especially rolling upgrade testing, doesn't have any
upstream automation on build.apache.org, in part because it's a pain to set up
x-node clusters on Apache infrastructure.
This proposal, whether it stays under /dev-support or moves out into it's own
top-level module ("hbase-docker" would conveniently fit the existing schema
:-)), strives to create a simple framework for deploying "distributed,"
multi-container Apache HBase clusters.
