>          Issue Type: New Feature

> *Problem Statement:*
> While Apache HBase provides a comprehensive set of features to support enterprise requirements—including multitenancy through region server grouping, namespaces, and quotas, as well as critical data management functions like snapshots and backups—access to these features is largely limited to command-line tools and Java APIs. This technical barrier creates significant challenges for administrators who may not possess deep HBase or programming expertise.
> As a result, routine operational tasks—such as tenant onboarding, resource allocation, quota enforcement, snapshot creation, and backup management—are often complex, time-consuming, and prone to human error. The lack of a unified, intuitive graphical interface also increases the risk of misconfiguration, slows down troubleshooting.
> To address these challenges and democratize HBase administration, there is a clear need for enhanced UI capabilities, such as those provided by Ambari Views. By extending the UI to support not only multitenancy management but also snapshot and backup operations, administrators of varying skill levels can more easily and reliably perform essential tasks. This will help reduce operational overhead, improve data reliability, and ensure consistent policy enforcement—ultimately making HBase more accessible, secure, and manageable for organizations of all sizes.
> h3. Impact on Operations
> These challenges result in administrators spending excessive time on routine and critical data management tasks, encountering a higher risk of configuration errors, and having difficulty troubleshooting issues or ensuring consistent policy enforcement. The absence of a unified, intuitive interface not only complicates tenant onboarding and resource allocation, but also makes operations like snapshot creation and backup management error-prone and difficult to audit.
> ----
> h3. Proposal: Ambari View for HBase Multi-Tenancy, Snapshot, and Backup Management
> To simplify and streamline HBase administration, we propose implementing a dedicated Ambari View for HBase RSGroup, tenant, snapshot, and backup management. By enabling these key operations through an intuitive UI, administrators can easily onboard tenants, allocate resources, manage snapshots and backups, and track changes—without needing to master the technical details of region server groups, namespaces, quotas, or data protection operations.
> This enhancement will provide a user-friendly interface that abstracts the complexity of HBase internals. For example, onboarding a new tenant through the UI would automatically handle namespace creation, user setup, quota assignment, and resource allocation. Similarly, creating a snapshot or scheduling a backup can be accomplished with simple guided workflows. Administrators will no longer need in-depth knowledge of HBase commands or architecture to perform tasks accurately, reliably, and efficiently.
> Ambari’s extensible 'views' feature allows for the development of such dedicated interfaces without altering core HBase or Ambari functionality, ensuring seamless integration and maintainability.
> ----
> h3. Key Operations of the Proposed HBase View Page
> *RSGroups Overview:*
> Administrators will have a graphical overview of all RSGroups, including server distribution, table and namespace assignments. This visualization allows for rapid identification of imbalances or misconfigurations.
> *Simplified Tenant, Snapshot, and Backup Management:*
> The UI will guide administrators step-by-step through creating, modifying, and deleting RSGroups, adding or removing servers, assigning tables and namespaces, and managing quotas. Onboarding a new tenant becomes a single workflow that automates namespace creation, user onboarding, and resource allocation. Snapshots and backups can be created, scheduled, and restored via intuitive wizards, improving data protection and recovery processes.
> *Quota, Namespace, and User Management:*
> Administrators can manage quotas, namespaces, and users directly from the UI, ensuring consistent enforcement of organizational policies and simplifying day-to-day management.
> ----
> h3. Implementation Details
> The new view will be introduced as a project under {{contrib/views}} in Ambari. Key steps include:
>  * Defining the view with all necessary metadata.
>  * Creating APIs for all required HBase RSGroup, snapshot, backup, quota, and user management operations.
>  * Implementing REST endpoints to interact with HBase and related systems.
>  * Building a React-based UI to provide a modern, responsive user experience.
>  * Ensuring UI consistency with Ambari’s design language and offering visual workflows for all core operations.
> A proof-of-concept for RSGroup management using Ambari View has already been developed, demonstrating technical feasibility and the value of this approach by our team ([~anchalk1] , [~nikitapande] ). Thanks to [~nihaljain.cs] [~rajeshbabu]  [~brahma] for guiding the team and providing valuable inputs.
> ----
> h3. Future Scope
> Beyond RSGroup and tenant management, this feature is designed for extensibility. It can be expanded to provide comprehensive UI-driven management for HBase snapshots, backups, quotas, namespaces, and user administration, empowering organizations to manage their HBase environments more efficiently, securely, and reliably.
