Installation

On this page you will install the Stackable HBase operator and its dependencies, the ZooKeeper and HDFS operators, as well as the commons and secret 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=0.3.0 \
  secret=0.5.0 \
  zookeeper=0.11.0 \
  hdfs=0.5.0 \
  hbase=0.4.0

The tool will show

[INFO ] Installing commons operator in version 0.3.0
[INFO ] Installing secret operator in version 0.5.0
[INFO ] Installing zookeeper operator in version 0.11.0
[INFO ] Installing hdfs operator 0.5.0
[INFO ] Installing hbase operator 0.4.0
Consult the Quickstart to learn more about how to use stackablectl. For example, you can use the -k 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 0.11.0
helm install --wait hdfs-operator stackable-dev/hdfs-operator --version 0.5.0
helm install --wait commons-operator stackable-dev/commons-operator --version 0.3.0
helm install --wait secret-operator stackable-dev/secret-operator --version 0.5.0
helm install --wait hbase-operator stackable-dev/hbase-operator --version 0.4.0

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.
