Installing HBase 0.94.x

on a Multi-node cluster with Ubuntu 14.04

Sabeur Aridhi

Introduction

This tutorial is a sequel of of Matteo Lissandrini's "Installing HDFS and Hadoop 2.X on a Multi-node cluster with Ubuntu 14.0.

That guide can also be used to install Hadoop 1.x (with minor if none modification); in this work we will assume that you have followed that tutorial and have installed Hadoop 1.x and HDFS.

Even thought HBase 0.94.x can run against both Hadoop 1.x and 2.x versions (see HBase 0.94 book) we highly recommend to use Hadoop 1.x for HBase 0.x and Hadoop 2.x for HBase 1.x and 2.x.

We wish also to inform you that also this tutorial can be applied to HBase 1.x and 2.x (with minor if none modification).

Installing

The following steps will be needed only once. Download HBase 0.94.X stable, to do so navigate in the List of Mirrors select one and decide which version to download. For the sake of simplicity from now on we will assume tho have chosen version 0.94.27.
For example wget can be used:

# from eu
wget https://www.eu.apache.org/dist/hbase/hbase-0.94.27/hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz
# from us
wget https://www.us.apache.org/dist/hbase/hbase-0.94.27/hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz

Then extract the tar to the final installation directory, fix also permission and create a version agnostic symlink.
In this tutorial we will use the standard /usr/local/ as installation directory but obviously you are free to chose the one you prefer.

# extract & copy
sudo tar -zxf hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
# fix permission
sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/hbase-hbase-0.94.27/
# create symlink
sudo ln -s /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27/ /usr/local/hbase

The Sims 3 Complete Edition Repack By Blackbox Here

: After decompression, the game requires approximately 33.7 GB of hard drive space.

The Sims 3 was coded before modern graphics cards (like the NVIDIA RTX or AMD Radeon RX series) existed. When you boot the repack, the game will likely output a "Graphics device not found" error, defaulting your settings to low. You must manually add your modern GPU's device ID to the game’s database files ( GraphicsRules.sgr and GraphicsCards.sgr ) to unlock proper resolutions and graphical fidelity. 3. Cap Your Framerate The Sims 3 Complete Edition RePack by BlackBox

Applying community optimizer mods (like LazyDuchess's Smooth Patch) alters how the game engine handles script updates, drastically improving frame rates in live mode. : After decompression, the game requires approximately 33

Features houseboats, scuba diving, resort management, and hidden uncharted islands. You must manually add your modern GPU's device

The Sims 3 Complete Edition RePack by BlackBox bundles the base game with all 11 expansions and 9 stuff packs, optimized for small download sizes using heavy compression. Based on the stable v1.67.2, it offers an all-in-one, offline-capable experience, though it requires long installation times and community mods for optimal performance. For user discussions on this version, visit The Sims 3 Collection on Steam

Designed to run without the need for the Origin or EA App, offering a dedicated, stable offline experience. What’s Included in the Complete Edition?

While The Sims 3 is fantastic, it is notorious for performance issues, especially when all expansions are installed. To enjoy the BlackBox repack to its fullest, consider the following optimizations: 1. Utilize NRaas Mods

Nodes Setup

Finally configure and initialize the other cluster nodes. List the machines that will act as region server in conf/regionservers, one address per line line.

If needed update /etc/hosts according to Hadoop tutorial hints.

Once done, propagate the setup throw the cluster:

 #!/bin/bash

 # Build configured HBase tar.
 mkdir -p /tmp/distr/
 tar -czf /tmp/distr/hbase.tgz /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27

 # Distribute to each region node
 while IFS='' read -r node_ip; do
     scp /etc/hosts hduser@$node_ip:~/
     scp ~/.profile ~/.vimrc hduser@$node_ip:~/

 	scp hbase.tgz hduser@$node_ip:~/

 	ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -tt hduser@$node_ip <<EOF
 sudo mv $HOME/hosts /etc/

 # Install & link & fix permission
 sudo tar -zxf $HOME/hbase.tgz -C /
 sudo ln -s /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27 /usr/local/hbase
 sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/hbase*

 # Create zookeeper directory (even if not needed)
 sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/zookeeper
 # Fix permission
 sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/zookeeper

 # Raise the limit for max opened files (DB srv)
 sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=100000

 # Required due to -tt option
 exit
 EOF
 done < /usr/local/hbase/conf/regionservers

Start

That's the end of the journey: enjoy your new HBase cluster!

Start it running start-hbase.sh
