Hortonworks Sandbox: How to Install HBase Thrift + REST servers

Question

Looking at the Hortonworks Documentation, it appears that the following servers are not installed by default.

• HBase REST Server (optional)
• HBase REST Server Web UI (optional)
• HBase Thrift Server (optional)
• HBase Thrift Server Web UI (optional)

What is the standard way to install them in Hortonworks?

Answer 1

I found this on the web:

If you have a server where the HBase Master or Region Server is installed then you can start it [HBase REST Server]. If it is on the Ambari server then the default port 8080 will conflict with the Ambari port and you will have to specify the port which it should listen on.

I also tried to find a solution for the port-issue, and here is what i found:

http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP1/HDP-1.2.1/bk_using_Ambari_book/content/ambari-chap5-3-10.html

That means you have to change the default port of the HBase REST Server.

Now to the Thrift Server: I can only find how to start it, so I think it is installed with the HBase Master or Region Server installation. Here is also mentioned how to start the HBase REST Server:

Maybe the port-issue has been solved with the command --infoport 8085. Please let me know if this helped.
