how to connect to hbase through HTTPS proxy

[bob doe <du...@gmail.com>]

I'm currently using org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.ConnectionFactory to
connect to HBase:


import rg.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.*;
....
Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(conf);
Table table = connection.getTable(TableName.valueOf("mytable"));

If there is a HTTPS proxy in between the client and HBase server, is it
possible to configure proxy host, port, basic authentication under
Configuration object?

I want to avoid applying proxy settings globally using -Dhttps.proxyHost
and affect all HTTP connections.

Hi Bob,

To the best of my knowledge this is not possible using the standard HBase
client. The wire protocol is not HTTP, so all this goodness does not apply.

There is a “REST Gateway” that exposes an HBase cluster over HTTP.
Presumably you could proxy calls to a gateway instance (or a pool of
gateway instances). The architecture of the standard client differs from
the gateway setup: in the standard configuration the client will
communicate with region servers directly. Using the gateway results in the
gateway communicating with cluster members on behalf of the client.

Thanks,
Nick
