Chapter 4. Optimizing the HBase/Hadoop Cluster

Different workloads have different characteristics, so experiment with different tuning options before finalizing. We cannot achieve the optimum performance for HBase without optimizing Hadoop as HBase runs on top of Hadoop. So, we will first see the optimization parameters of Hadoop and then continue optimizing HBase.

In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics:

  • Hadoop and HBase cluster types
  • Hardware requirements
  • Capacity planning
  • Hardware, network, and operating system considerations
  • The optimization of different components in a cluster configuration
  • Different configuration files in Hadoop/HBase

Setup types for Hadoop and HBase clusters

Now, let's see the files and their parameters in Hadoop, ...
