[jira] Created: (HBASE-1173) HBase configuration wizard
HBase configuration wizard
--------------------------
Key: HBASE-1173
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1173
Project: Hadoop HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
Fix For: 0.20.0
There are some aspects of HBase configuration that will be daunting for new users. For example, Zookeeper configuration needs to list all hosts so it can determine quorum. New users won't necessarily even understand the distinction between HBase and Zookeeper. Let's produce a bash configuration wizard that can generate all necessary config files or file edits based on the answers provided to a few simple questions. This will allow neophytes to quickly spin up clusters correctly without duplicating common errors. Advanced configuration is out of scope for this issue.

------------------------------
Do we think this will make 0.20.0? If not, lets move it out.

Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-1173:
---------------------------------------
Yes I think this can make it. How about something along the lines of:
* Use ssh to retrieve hadoop-site.xml and parse for root FS URI, or ask
** Use 'hadoop fs' to check validity
* Ask about ZK particulars
** Self manage or use existing installation
*** Existing installation details
* Ask for master DNS name
** Check resolution sanity
** Check reachability
** Test auto-ssh
** Use 'cat /proc/cpu' to check for minimum CPU for master and warn if not
** Ask about heap size and enforce minimum requirement
** Use 'free' to check for minimum RAM for master and warn if not
* Ask for HRS DNS names
** Check resolution sanity
** Check reachability
** Test auto-ssh
** Use 'cat /proc/cpu' to check for minimum CPU and warn if not
** Ask about heap size and enforce minimum requirement
** Use 'free' to check for minimum RAM and warn if not
* Ask to make xceivers change to hadoop-site.xml. Ballpark it according to 'free' output.
* Write 'zoo.cfg', 'hbase-env.sh', 'hbase-site.xml', 'regionservers' and use scp to push them out.
* Parse and update 'hadoop-site.xml' and use scp to push out the modified version.
* Use ssh to symlink 'hadoop-site.xml' into hbase/conf/
For each question, provide some explanatory text. Provide a reasonable "don't care" or "don't know" default.
Some small changes to bin/hbase are necessary to support separate -Xmx options for various daemon types.
Should we do more?
