I reopened at a user's request the HBase 0.20 on Hadoop 0.18.3 branch, pulled
it up to the 0.20.2 release, and ran a full suite of tests. It is serviceable.
As before, the new mapreduce package for Hadoop 0.20+ and Stargate are missing
from this branch.
SVN:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/hbase/branches/0.20_on_hadoop-0.18.3
Then I built two public AMIs based on Hadoop 0.18.3 and the above branch.
AMIs (public):
i386: ami-44c4262d
x86_64: ami-4ec42627
Use the scripts under src/contrib/ec2/ on the branch to launch them.
These also bundle LZO codec support for HBase. See
