Veritas NetBackup™ for HBase Administrator's Guide

Configuring the HBase plug-in using the HBase configuration file

The backup hosts use the hbase.conf file to save the configuration settings of the HBase plug-in. You need to create a separate file for each backup host and copy it to the /usr/openv/netbackup/. You need to manually create the hbase.conf file in JSON format. This file is not available by default with the installer.

Note:

You must not provide a blank value for any of the parameters, or the backup job fails.

With this release, the following plug-in settings can be configured:

  • See Configuring NetBackup for a highly-available HBase cluster.

  • See Configuring communication between NetBackup and HBase clusters that have SSL enabled (HTTPS).

Following is an example of the hbase.conf file.

Note:

For non-HA environment, the fail-over parameters are not required.

  {
   "application_servers":
   {
    "hostname_of_the_primary_HMaster":
    {
     "failover_HMaster":
     [
      {
       "hostname":"hostname_of_failover_HMaster"
       
      }
     ]
     
    }
   }
   
  }
