I think that you when you are talking about RMap, you are referring to MapR´s distribution. I think that MapR´s team released a very good version of its Hadoop distribution focused on HBase called M7. You can see its overview here: http://www.mapr.com/products/mapr-editions/m7-edition
But this release was under beta testing, and I see that it´s not included in the Amazon Marketplace yet: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=802b0a25-877e-4b57-9007-a3fd284815a5 2013/5/7 Pal Konyves <paul.kony...@gmail.com> > Hi, > > Has anyone got some recommendations about running HBase on EC2?
