Local debugging (possibly with Maven and HBaseTestingUtility?)

Hello, We are developing a web-application that uses HBase as database, with Tomcat as application server. Currently, our server-side code can act as a sort of NoSQL abstraction-layer for either HBase or Google AppEngine. HBase is used in production, AppEngine mainly for testing and demo

Hi, You can use HBase in standalone mode? Cf. http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#standalone_dist? I guess you already tried and it didn't work? Nicolas On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 9:57 AM, Jeroen Hoek jer...@lable.org wrote: Hello, We are developing a web-application that uses HBase as database,

Re: Managing MapReduce jobs with concurrent client reads

Neither right now -- I'm just assuming that it would be a problem since I would definitely have to support both in a hypothetical HBase+Hadoop installment that isn't actually built yet. Did you ever try corralling those jobs by just reducing the number of available map/reduce tasks or did you

Hi Jimmy,Thanks for the quick response. If the paused region server currently has the file open and is writing to it (current stream open to data node -- actually local i guess) will the stream be marked as unusable so the write to it fails? I guess maybe this is more of an HDFS question.-NickOn
