> Attached tarball is a clone of the Hadoop EC2 scripts, modified significantly to start up a HBase storage only cluster on top of HDFS backed by instance storage. 
> Tested with the HBase 0.20 branch but should work with trunk also. Only the AMI create and launch scripts are tested. Will bring up a functioning HBase cluster. 
> Do "create-hbase-image c1.xlarge" to create an x86_64 AMI, or "create-hbase-image c1.medium" to create an i386 AMI.  Public Hadoop/HBase 0.20.1 AMIs are available:
>     i386: ami-c644a7af
>     x86_64: ami-f244a79b
> launch-hbase-cluster brings up the cluster: First, a small dedicated ZK quorum, specifiable in size, default of 3. Then, the DFS namenode (formatting on first boot) and one datanode and the HBase master. Then, a specifiable number of slaves, instances running DFS datanodes and HBase region servers.  For example:
> {noformat}
>     launch-hbase-cluster testcluster 100 5
> {noformat}
> would bring up a cluster with 100 slaves supported by a 5 node ZK ensemble.
> We must colocate a datanode with the namenode because currently the master won't tolerate a brand new DFS with only namenode and no datanodes up yet. See HBASE-1960. By default the launch scripts provision ZooKeeper as c1.medium and the HBase master and region servers as c1.xlarge. The result is a HBase cluster supported by a ZooKeeper ensemble. ZK ensembles are not dynamic, but HBase clusters can be grown by simply starting up more slaves, just like Hadoop. 
> hbase-ec2-init-remote.sh can be trivially edited to bring up a jobtracker on the master node and task trackers on the slaves.
