Installation

On this page you will install the Stackable HBase operator and its dependencies, the ZooKeeper and HDFS operators, as well as the commons, secret and listener operators which are required by all Stackable operators.

Stackable Operators

There are 2 ways to run Stackable operators

  1. Using stackablectl

  2. Using Helm

stackablectl

stackablectl is the command line tool to interact with Stackable operators and our recommended way to install operators. Follow the installation steps for your platform.

After you have installed stackablectl run the following command to install all operators necessary for the HBase cluster:

stackablectl operator install \
  commons=0.0.0-dev \
  secret=0.0.0-dev \
  listener=0.0.0-dev \
  zookeeper=0.0.0-dev \
  hdfs=0.0.0-dev \
  hbase=0.0.0-dev

The tool will show

Installed commons=0.0.0-dev operator
Installed secret=0.0.0-dev operator
Installed listener=0.0.0-dev operator
Installed zookeeper=0.0.0-dev operator
Installed hdfs=0.0.0-dev operator
Installed hbase=0.0.0-dev operator
Consult the Quickstart to learn more about how to use stackablectl. For example, you can use the --cluster kind flag to create a Kubernetes cluster with kind.

Helm

You can also use Helm to install the operators. Add the Stackable Helm repository:

helm repo add stackable-dev https://repo.stackable.tech/repository/helm-dev/

Then install the Stackable Operators:

helm install --wait zookeeper-operator stackable-dev/zookeeper-operator --version 0.0.0-dev &
helm install --wait hdfs-operator stackable-dev/hdfs-operator --version 0.0.0-dev &
helm install --wait commons-operator stackable-dev/commons-operator --version 0.0.0-dev &
helm install --wait secret-operator stackable-dev/secret-operator --version 0.0.0-dev &
helm install --wait listener-operator stackable-dev/listener-operator --version 0.0.0-dev &
helm install --wait hbase-operator stackable-dev/hbase-operator --version 0.0.0-dev &
wait

Helm will deploy the operators in a Kubernetes Deployment and apply the CRDs for the HBase cluster (as well as the CRDs for the required operators). You are now ready to deploy HBase in Kubernetes.

What’s next

Set up an HBase cluster and its dependencies and verify that it works.
