Create Slider App Package for HBase

appConfig-default.json and resources-default.json are not required to be packaged. These files are included as reference configuration for Slider apps and are suitable for a one-node cluster.

OPTION-I: Use a downloaded tarball OPTION-II: Use the tarball from the local repository

OPTION - I

To create the app package you will need the HBase tarball and invoke mvn command with appropriate parameters.

Command:

mvn clean package -Phbase-app-package -Dpkg.version=<version>
   -Dpkg.name=<file name of app tarball> -Dpkg.src=<folder location where the pkg is available>

Example:

mvn clean package -Phbase-app-package -Dpkg.version=0.98.5-hadoop2
  -Dpkg.name=hbase-0.98.5-hadoop2-bin.tar.gz
  -Dpkg.src=/Users/user1/Downloads/0.98.5-hadoop2

App package can be found in app-packages/hbase/target/slider-hbase-app-package-${pkg.version}.zip

OPTION - II

You need the HBase version available on local maven repo to create the Slider App Package for HBase.

Download the tarball for HBase: e.g. path to tarball ~/Downloads/hbase-0.98.3-hadoop2-bin.tar.gz

The version of HBase used for the app package can be adjusted by adding a flag such as

-Dhbase.version=0.98.3-hadoop2

Use the following command to install HBase tarball locally (under local workspace of HBase repo):

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-tarball> -DgroupId=org.apache.hbase -DartifactId=hbase -Dversion=0.98.3-hadoop2 -Dclassifier=bin -Dpackaging=tar.gz

You may need to copy the hbase tarball to the following location if the above step doesn't publish the tarball:

~/.m2/repository/org/apache/hbase/hbase/0.98.3-hadoop2/

After HBase tarball is published locally in maven repository, you can use the following command:

mvn clean package -DskipTests -Phbase-app-package

App package can be found in

app-packages/hbase/target/apache-slider-hbase-${hbase.version}-app-package-${slider.version}.zip

If an HBase version older than 0.98.3 is desired, it must be installed in the local maven repo.

A less descriptive file name can be specified with

-Dapp.package.name=HBase_98dot3 which would create a file HBase_98dot3.zip.
