Quickstart HBase/Hadoop Dashboard

HBase and Hadoop are great Apache Open Source projects but without many tools to deploy, configure and run those services.  To fill this gap the HBase/Hadoop Dashboard is a simple application to configure and run a single node HBase and Hadoop cluster.  It lets you get these components up and running in a matter of minutes.

 



Features

  • HBase and Hadoop executables are pre-packaged from the latest stable Apache projects.  It is as simple as downloading and extracting the distribution zip file. Once the distribution is extracted a pre-configured and combined HBase and Hadoop environment is available.

  • The HBase/Hadoop dashboard is an all inclusive Swing application that will start up and shutdown the services. It is not necessary to do any SSH preparation, the dashboard starts and stop everything internally.

  • Embedded applications are included to view server logs,  change the configuration files, or inspect ZooKeeper nodes.

  • HBase and Hadoop supplied Jetty Web applications can be started from the dashboard.



ZooView Viewer for Zookeeper

ZooView is a nifty tool for seeing the ZooKeeper Znode tree visually. This tool is written in Java Swing so it will run anywhere.  It is invaluable when implementing systems that use ZooKeeper for distributed coordination of activities.

Features

  • Znodes are displayed in a visual tree.

  • The user interface supports adding or deleting Znodes. Very useful when setting up trees during development.

  • Znode changes are updated visually in realtime. You can sit there and watch the fun.

  • Clicking on a Znode displays the stats for that node. If the node has data attached, the data is shown in hexidecimal and character representation.
