What is the advantage of using HBase in Azure HDinight?
Can’t wait , give me a quick link to deploy HBase cluster in HDInsight?
So, I just got HBase up and running in HDInsight and want to test the performance without writing any code. How can I “take HBase for a spin”?
SSH into your cluster , and typehbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PerformanceEvaluation 1000
PerformanceEvaluation tool takes number of parameters and commands , just type hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.PerformanceEvaluation for all the options.
Now go to HBase Shell and type list , you will see a new table and you can play with many more options.
Great! I am an enterprise customer and secure the cluster inside a virtual network. How can I do that?
Please follow the article Here
I really need to secure the VNET , what IP & ports Azure needs to operate the service
If you need to install HDInsight into a secured Virtual Network, you must allow inbound access over port 443 for the following IP addresses, which allow Azure to manage the HDInsight cluster.
168.61.49.99
23.99.5.239
168.61.48.131
138.91.141.162
Allowing inbound access from port 443 for these addresses will allow you to successfully install HDInsight into a secured virtual network.
There are some inconsistencies when running “hbase hbck”. Then I want to run “sudo -u hbase<or hdfs> hbase hbck -repair”, it reports access denied to the folders in azure data lake store
Try adding “-ignorePreCheckPermission” as a command parameter
hbase hbck -ignorePreCheckPermission
