Setup HBase in Windows 10 | Install HBase in Standalone Mode

In this tutorial, we will learn how to Install or Setup HBase in your windows machine. Most of us would be developing a code in our local machine and setting up the HBase in your own machine will ease the process of development where it helps with doing some unit testing before deployment. Let us get started

Pre-Requisite:

We are going to make a standalone setup of HBase in our machine which requires 

• Java JDK 1.8 - Download from this link JAVA JDK. Install and set JAVA_HOME in environment  variable. 
• HBase - Apache HBase can be downloaded from this link 

Video Guide to Setup:

HBase Installation Steps:

Step 1:

Unzip the downloaded Hbase and place it in some common path, say C:/Document/hbase-2.2.5

Step 2:

Create a folders as shown below inside root folder for HBase data and zookeeper 

-> C:/Document/hbase-2.2.5/hbase

-> C:/Document/hbase-2.2.5/zookeeper

Step 3:

Open C:/Document/hbase-2.2.5/bin/hbase.cmd in notepad++. Search for below given lines and  remove %HEAP_SETTINGS% from that line as dictated in the video embedded with this blog

set java_arguments=%HEAP_SETTINGS% %HBASE_OPTS% -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" %CLASS% %hbase-command-arguments%

Step 4:

Open C:/Document/hbase-2.2.5/conf/hbase-env.cmd n notepad++.  Add the below lines to the file after the comment session as shown in the YT video given with this tutorial.

set JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME%

set HBASE_CLASSPATH=%HBASE_HOME%\lib\client-facing-thirdparty\*

set HBASE_HEAPSIZE=8000

set HBASE_OPTS="-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"

set SERVER_GC_OPTS="-verbose:gc" "-XX:+PrintGCDetails" "-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps" %HBASE_GC_OPTS%

set HBASE_USE_GC_LOGFILE=true

set HBASE_JMX_BASE="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"

set HBASE_MASTER_OPTS=%HBASE_JMX_BASE% "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=10101"

set HBASE_REGIONSERVER_OPTS=%HBASE_JMX_BASE% "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=10102"

set HBASE_THRIFT_OPTS=%HBASE_JMX_BASE% "-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=10103"

set HBASE_ZOOKEEPER_OPTS=%HBASE_JMX_BASE% -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=10104"

set HBASE_REGIONSERVERS=%HBASE_HOME%\conf\regionservers

set HBASE_LOG_DIR=%HBASE_HOME%\logs

set HBASE_IDENT_STRING=%USERNAME%

set HBASE_MANAGES_ZK=true

Step 5:

Open C:/Document/hbase-2.2.5/conf/hbase-site.xml notepad++. Add the below lines inside <configuration> tag. Refer YT video given in this tutorial.

<property>

    <name>hbase.rootdir</name>

    <value>file:///C:/Documents/hbase-2.2.5/hbase</value>

 </property>

 <property>

    <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>

    <value>/C:/Documents/hbase-2.2.5/zookeeper</value>

 </property>

 <property>

     <name> hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name>

    <value>localhost</value>

 </property>

Step 6:

Setup the Environment variable for HBASE_HOME and add bin to the path variable as shown in the below image.

We are done with the Setup for HBase on Windows 10 and to verify the setup follow the video and also try creating a table inside hbase shell. Hope you made a complete standalone setup of HBase in windows machine successfully. If in case of any issue, please let me know through the below comment box.

Happy Learning !!!
