Creating a distributed HBase cluster
I am planning to use
Cloudera Manager
(
CM
) for this, and I will build it on
Amazon
Web Services
(
AWS
) using the
Elastic Compute Cloud
(
EC2
) web service.
Granted there are other distributions, and there is also your own hardware.
However, let me tell you that your own hardware could cost: $26,243.70. This
is how much is cost me.
That's just for three machines, which is barely enough for Hadoop work, and with
HBase, you might as well double the memory requirements. Although, in the long
run, owning your hardware is better than renting, just as the case is with most of the
own versus rent scenarios. However, you might prefer to rent Amazon machines,
at a fraction of a dollar per hour and for a few minutes of provisioning time.
Now follow these steps:
