hbase.tmp.dir
${java.io.tmpdir}/hbase-${user.name}
Temporary directory on the local filesystem.
Change this setting to point to a location more permanent
than '/tmp', the usual resolve for java.io.tmpdir, as the
'/tmp' directory is cleared on machine restart.
hbase.rootdir
${hbase.tmp.dir}/hbase
The directory shared by region servers and into
which HBase persists. The URL should be 'fully-qualified'
to include the filesystem scheme. For example, to specify the
HDFS directory '/hbase' where the HDFS instance's namenode is
running at namenode.example.org on port 9000, set this value to:
hdfs://namenode.example.org:9000/hbase. By default, we write
to whatever ${hbase.tmp.dir} is set too -- usually /tmp --
so change this configuration or else all data will be lost on
machine restart.
hbase.fs.tmp.dir
/user/${user.name}/hbase-staging
A staging directory in default file system (HDFS)
for keeping temporary data.
hbase.bulkload.staging.dir
${hbase.fs.tmp.dir}
A staging directory in default file system (HDFS)
for bulk loading.
hbase.cluster.distributed
false
The mode the cluster will be in. Possible values are
false for standalone mode and true for distributed mode. If
false, startup will run all HBase and ZooKeeper daemons together
in the one JVM.
hbase.zookeeper.quorum
localhost
Comma separated list of servers in the ZooKeeper ensemble
(This config. should have been named hbase.zookeeper.ensemble).
For example, "host1.mydomain.com,host2.mydomain.com,host3.mydomain.com".
By default this is set to localhost for local and pseudo-distributed
modes
of operation. For a fully-distributed setup, this should be set to a
full
list of ZooKeeper ensemble servers. If HBASE_MANAGES_ZK is set in
hbase-env.sh
this is the list of servers which hbase will start/stop ZooKeeper on as
part of cluster start/stop. Client-side, we will take this list of
ensemble members and put it together with the
hbase.zookeeper.clientPort
config. and pass it into zookeeper constructor as the connectString
parameter.
hbase.local.dir
${hbase.tmp.dir}/local/
Directory on the local filesystem to be used
as a local storage.
hbase.master.port
16000
The port the HBase Master should bind to.
hbase.master.info.port
16010
The port for the HBase Master web UI.
Set to -1 if you do not want a UI instance run.
hbase.master.info.bindAddress
0.0.0.0
The bind address for the HBase Master web UI
hbase.master.logcleaner.plugins
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.cleaner.TimeToLiveLogCleaner
A comma-separated list of BaseLogCleanerDelegate invoked
by
the LogsCleaner service. These WAL cleaners are called in order,
so put the cleaner that prunes the most files in front. To
implement your own BaseLogCleanerDelegate, just put it in HBase's classpath
and add the fully qualified class name here. Always add the above
default log cleaners in the list.
hbase.master.logcleaner.ttl
600000
Maximum time a WAL can stay in the .oldlogdir directory,
after which it will be cleaned by a Master thread.
hbase.master.hfilecleaner.plugins
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.cleaner.TimeToLiveHFileCleaner
A comma-separated list of BaseHFileCleanerDelegate
invoked by
the HFileCleaner service. These HFiles cleaners are called in order,
so put the cleaner that prunes the most files in front. To
implement your own BaseHFileCleanerDelegate, just put it in HBase's classpath
and add the fully qualified class name here. Always add the above
default log cleaners in the list as they will be overwritten in
hbase-site.xml.
hbase.master.catalog.timeout
600000
Timeout value for the Catalog Janitor from the master to
META.
hbase.master.infoserver.redirect
true
Whether or not the Master listens to the Master web
UI port (hbase.master.info.port) and redirects requests to the web
UI server shared by the Master and RegionServer.
hbase.regionserver.port
16020
The port the HBase RegionServer binds to.
hbase.regionserver.info.port
16030
The port for the HBase RegionServer web UI
Set to -1 if you do not want the RegionServer UI to run.
hbase.regionserver.info.bindAddress
0.0.0.0
The address for the HBase RegionServer web UI
hbase.regionserver.info.port.auto
false
Whether or not the Master or RegionServer
UI should search for a port to bind to. Enables automatic port
search if hbase.regionserver.info.port is already in use.
Useful for testing, turned off by default.
hbase.regionserver.handler.count
30
Count of RPC Listener instances spun up on RegionServers.
Same property is used by the Master for count of master handlers.
hbase.ipc.server.callqueue.handler.factor
0.1
Factor to determine the number of call queues.
A value of 0 means a single queue shared between all the handlers.
A value of 1 means that each handler has its own queue.
hbase.ipc.server.callqueue.read.ratio
0
Split the call queues into read and write queues.
The specified interval (which should be between 0.0 and 1.0)
will be multiplied by the number of call queues.
A value of 0 indicate to not split the call queues, meaning that both
read and write
requests will be pushed to the same set of queues.
A value lower than 0.5 means that there will be less read queues than
write queues.
A value of 0.5 means there will be the same number of read and write
queues.
A value greater than 0.5 means that there will be more read queues
than write queues.
A value of 1.0 means that all the queues except one are used to
dispatch read requests.
Example: Given the total number of call queues being 10
a read.ratio of 0 means that: the 10 queues will contain both
read/write requests.
a read.ratio of 0.3 means that: 3 queues will contain only read
requests
and 7 queues will contain only write requests.
a read.ratio of 0.5 means that: 5 queues will contain only read
requests
and 5 queues will contain only write requests.
a read.ratio of 0.8 means that: 8 queues will contain only read
requests
and 2 queues will contain only write requests.
a read.ratio of 1 means that: 9 queues will contain only read requests
and 1 queues will contain only write requests.
hbase.ipc.server.callqueue.scan.ratio
0
Given the number of read call queues, calculated from the
total number
of call queues multiplied by the callqueue.read.ratio, the scan.ratio
property
will split the read call queues into small-read and long-read queues.
A value lower than 0.5 means that there will be less long-read queues
than short-read queues.
A value of 0.5 means that there will be the same number of short-read
and long-read queues.
A value greater than 0.5 means that there will be more long-read
queues than short-read queues
A value of 0 or 1 indicate to use the same set of queues for gets and
scans.
Example: Given the total number of read call queues being 8
a scan.ratio of 0 or 1 means that: 8 queues will contain both long and
short read requests.
a scan.ratio of 0.3 means that: 2 queues will contain only long-read
requests
and 6 queues will contain only short-read requests.
a scan.ratio of 0.5 means that: 4 queues will contain only long-read
requests
and 4 queues will contain only short-read requests.
a scan.ratio of 0.8 means that: 6 queues will contain only long-read
requests
and 2 queues will contain only short-read requests.
hbase.regionserver.msginterval
3000
Interval between messages from the RegionServer to Master
in milliseconds.
hbase.regionserver.logroll.period
3600000
Period at which we will roll the commit log regardless
of how many edits it has.
hbase.regionserver.logroll.errors.tolerated
2
The number of consecutive WAL close errors we will allow
before triggering a server abort. A setting of 0 will cause the
region server to abort if closing the current WAL writer fails during
log rolling. Even a small value (2 or 3) will allow a region server
to ride over transient HDFS errors.
hbase.regionserver.hlog.reader.impl
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.wal.ProtobufLogReader
The WAL file reader implementation.
hbase.regionserver.hlog.writer.impl
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.wal.ProtobufLogWriter
The WAL file writer implementation.
hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.size
Maximum size of all memstores in a region server before
new
updates are blocked and flushes are forced. Defaults to 40% of heap (0.4).
Updates are blocked and flushes are forced until size of all
memstores
in a region server hits
hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.size.lower.limit.
The default value in this configuration has been intentionally left
emtpy in order to
honor the old hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.upperLimit property if
present.
hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.size.lower.limit
Maximum size of all memstores in a region server before
flushes are forced.
Defaults to 95% of hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.size (0.95).
A 100% value for this value causes the minimum possible flushing to
occur when updates are
blocked due to memstore limiting.
The default value in this configuration has been intentionally left
emtpy in order to
honor the old hbase.regionserver.global.memstore.lowerLimit property if
present.
hbase.regionserver.optionalcacheflushinterval
3600000
Maximum amount of time an edit lives in memory before being automatically
flushed.
Default 1 hour. Set it to 0 to disable automatic flushing.
hbase.regionserver.catalog.timeout
600000
Timeout value for the Catalog Janitor from the
regionserver to META.
hbase.regionserver.dns.interface
default
The name of the Network Interface from which a region
server
should report its IP address.
hbase.regionserver.dns.nameserver
default
The host name or IP address of the name server (DNS)
which a region server should use to determine the host name used by
the
master for communication and display purposes.
hbase.regionserver.region.split.policy
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.IncreasingToUpperBoundRegionSplitPolicy
A split policy determines when a region should be split. The various
other split policies that
are available currently are ConstantSizeRegionSplitPolicy,
DisabledRegionSplitPolicy,
DelimitedKeyPrefixRegionSplitPolicy, KeyPrefixRegionSplitPolicy etc.
hbase.regionserver.regionSplitLimit
1000
Limit for the number of regions after which no more region splitting
should take place.
This is not hard limit for the number of regions but acts as a guideline
for the regionserver
to stop splitting after a certain limit. Default is set to 1000.
zookeeper.session.timeout
90000
ZooKeeper session timeout in milliseconds. It is used in
two different ways.
First, this value is used in the ZK client that HBase uses to connect to
the ensemble.
It is also used by HBase when it starts a ZK server and it is passed as
the 'maxSessionTimeout'. See
http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/current/zookeeperProgrammers.html#ch_zkSessions.
For example, if a HBase region server connects to a ZK ensemble
that's also managed by HBase, then the
session timeout will be the one specified by this configuration. But, a
region server that connects
to an ensemble managed with a different configuration will be subjected
that ensemble's maxSessionTimeout. So,
even though HBase might propose using 90 seconds, the ensemble can have a
max timeout lower than this and
it will take precedence. The current default that ZK ships with is 40
seconds, which is lower than HBase's.
zookeeper.znode.parent
/hbase
Root ZNode for HBase in ZooKeeper. All of HBase's
ZooKeeper
files that are configured with a relative path will go under this node.
By default, all of HBase's ZooKeeper file path are configured with a
relative path, so they will all go under this directory unless
changed.
zookeeper.znode.rootserver
root-region-server
Path to ZNode holding root region location. This is
written by
the master and read by clients and region servers. If a relative path is
given, the parent folder will be ${zookeeper.znode.parent}. By
default,
this means the root location is stored at /hbase/root-region-server.
zookeeper.znode.acl.parent
acl
Root ZNode for access control lists.
hbase.zookeeper.dns.interface
default
The name of the Network Interface from which a ZooKeeper
server
should report its IP address.
hbase.zookeeper.dns.nameserver
default
The host name or IP address of the name server (DNS)
which a ZooKeeper server should use to determine the host name used
by the
master for communication and display purposes.
hbase.zookeeper.peerport
2888
Port used by ZooKeeper peers to talk to each other.
See
http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/r3.1.1/zookeeperStarted.html#sc_RunningReplicatedZooKeeper
for more information.
hbase.zookeeper.leaderport
3888
Port used by ZooKeeper for leader election.
See
http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/r3.1.1/zookeeperStarted.html#sc_RunningReplicatedZooKeeper
for more information.
hbase.zookeeper.useMulti
true
Instructs HBase to make use of ZooKeeper's multi-update
functionality.
This allows certain ZooKeeper operations to complete more quickly and
prevents some issues
with rare Replication failure scenarios (see the release note of
HBASE-2611 for an example).
IMPORTANT: only set this to true if all ZooKeeper servers in the cluster are on
version 3.4+
and will not be downgraded. ZooKeeper versions before 3.4 do not support
multi-update and
will not fail gracefully if multi-update is invoked (see ZOOKEEPER-1495).
hbase.config.read.zookeeper.config
false
Set to true to allow HBaseConfiguration to read the
zoo.cfg file for ZooKeeper properties. Switching this to true
is not recommended, since the functionality of reading ZK
properties from a zoo.cfg file has been deprecated.
hbase.zookeeper.property.initLimit
10
Property from ZooKeeper's config zoo.cfg.
The number of ticks that the initial synchronization phase can take.
hbase.zookeeper.property.syncLimit
5
Property from ZooKeeper's config zoo.cfg.
The number of ticks that can pass between sending a request and getting
an
acknowledgment.
hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir
${hbase.tmp.dir}/zookeeper
Property from ZooKeeper's config zoo.cfg.
The directory where the snapshot is stored.
hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort
2181
Property from ZooKeeper's config zoo.cfg.
The port at which the clients will connect.
hbase.zookeeper.property.maxClientCnxns
300
Property from ZooKeeper's config zoo.cfg.
Limit on number of concurrent connections (at the socket level) that a
single client, identified by IP address, may make to a single member
of
the ZooKeeper ensemble. Set high to avoid zk connection issues running
standalone and pseudo-distributed.
hbase.client.write.buffer
2097152
Default size of the HTable client write buffer in bytes.
A bigger buffer takes more memory -- on both the client and server
side since server instantiates the passed write buffer to process
it -- but a larger buffer size reduces the number of RPCs made.
For an estimate of server-side memory-used, evaluate
hbase.client.write.buffer * hbase.regionserver.handler.count
hbase.client.pause
100
General client pause value. Used mostly as value to wait
before running a retry of a failed get, region lookup, etc.
See hbase.client.retries.number for description of how we backoff from
this initial pause amount and how this pause works w/ retries.
hbase.client.retries.number
35
Maximum retries. Used as maximum for all retryable
operations such as the getting of a cell's value, starting a row
update,
etc. Retry interval is a rough function based on hbase.client.pause. At
first we retry at this interval but then with backoff, we pretty
quickly reach
retrying every ten seconds. See HConstants#RETRY_BACKOFF for how the backup
ramps up. Change this setting and hbase.client.pause to suit your
workload.
hbase.client.max.total.tasks
100
The maximum number of concurrent tasks a single HTable
instance will
send to the cluster.
hbase.client.max.perserver.tasks
5
The maximum number of concurrent tasks a single HTable
instance will
send to a single region server.
hbase.client.max.perregion.tasks
1
The maximum number of concurrent connections the client
will
maintain to a single Region. That is, if there is already
hbase.client.max.perregion.tasks writes in progress for this region,
new puts
won't be sent to this region until some writes finishes.
hbase.client.scanner.caching
2147483647
Number of rows that we try to fetch when calling next
on a scanner if it is not served from (local, client) memory. This
configuration
works together with hbase.client.scanner.max.result.size to try and use
the
network efficiently. The default value is Integer.MAX_VALUE by default so
that
the network will fill the chunk size defined by
hbase.client.scanner.max.result.size
rather than be limited by a particular number of rows since the size of
rows varies
table to table. If you know ahead of time that you will not require more
than a certain
number of rows from a scan, this configuration should be set to that row
limit via
Scan#setCaching. Higher caching values will enable faster scanners but will eat up
more
memory and some calls of next may take longer and longer times when the
cache is empty.
Do not set this value such that the time between invocations is greater
than the scanner
timeout; i.e. hbase.client.scanner.timeout.period
hbase.client.keyvalue.maxsize
10485760
Specifies the combined maximum allowed size of a KeyValue
instance. This is to set an upper boundary for a single entry saved
in a
storage file. Since they cannot be split it helps avoiding that a region
cannot be split any further because the data is too large. It seems
wise
to set this to a fraction of the maximum region size. Setting it to
zero
or less disables the check.
hbase.client.scanner.timeout.period
60000
Client scanner lease period in milliseconds.
hbase.client.localityCheck.threadPoolSize
2
hbase.bulkload.retries.number
10
Maximum retries. This is maximum number of iterations
to atomic bulk loads are attempted in the face of splitting operations
means never give up.
hbase.balancer.period
300000
Period at which the region balancer runs in the Master.
hbase.normalizer.period
1800000
Period at which the region normalizer runs in the Master.
hbase.regions.slop
0.2
Rebalance if any regionserver has average + (average *
slop) regions.
hbase.server.thread.wakefrequency
10000
Time to sleep in between searches for work (in
milliseconds).
Used as sleep interval by service threads such as log roller.
hbase.server.versionfile.writeattempts
3
How many time to retry attempting to write a version file
before just aborting. Each attempt is seperated by the
hbase.server.thread.wakefrequency milliseconds.
hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size
134217728
Memstore will be flushed to disk if size of the memstore
exceeds this number of bytes. Value is checked by a thread that runs
every hbase.server.thread.wakefrequency.
hbase.hregion.percolumnfamilyflush.size.lower.bound
16777216
If FlushLargeStoresPolicy is used, then every time that we hit the
total memstore limit, we find out all the column families whose
memstores
exceed this value, and only flush them, while retaining the others whose
memstores are lower than this limit. If none of the families have
their
memstore size more than this, all the memstores will be flushed
(just as usual). This value should be less than half of the total memstore
threshold (hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size).
hbase.hregion.preclose.flush.size
5242880
If the memstores in a region are this size or larger when we go
to close, run a "pre-flush" to clear out memstores before we put up
the region closed flag and take the region offline. On close,
a flush is run under the close flag to empty memory. During
this time the region is offline and we are not taking on any writes.
If the memstore content is large, this flush could take a long time to
complete. The preflush is meant to clean out the bulk of the memstore
before putting up the close flag and taking the region offline so the
flush that runs under the close flag has little to do.
hbase.hregion.memstore.block.multiplier
4
Block updates if memstore has hbase.hregion.memstore.block.multiplier
times hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size bytes. Useful preventing
runaway memstore during spikes in update traffic. Without an
upper-bound, memstore fills such that when it flushes the
resultant flush files take a long time to compact or split, or
worse, we OOME.
hbase.hregion.memstore.mslab.enabled
true
Enables the MemStore-Local Allocation Buffer,
a feature which works to prevent heap fragmentation under
heavy write loads. This can reduce the frequency of stop-the-world
GC pauses on large heaps.
hbase.hregion.max.filesize
10737418240
Maximum HStoreFile size. If any one of a column families' HStoreFiles has
grown to exceed this value, the hosting HRegion is split in two.
hbase.hregion.majorcompaction
604800000
The time (in miliseconds) between 'major' compactions of
all
HStoreFiles in a region. Default: Set to 7 days. Major compactions tend to
happen exactly when you need them least so enable them such that they
run at
off-peak for your deploy; or, since this setting is on a periodicity that is
unlikely to match your loading, run the compactions via an external
invocation out of a cron job or some such.
hbase.hregion.majorcompaction.jitter
0.50
Jitter outer bound for major compactions.
On each regionserver, we multiply the hbase.region.majorcompaction
interval by some random fraction that is inside the bounds of this
maximum. We then add this + or - product to when the next
major compaction is to run. The idea is that major compaction
does happen on every regionserver at exactly the same time. The
smaller this number, the closer the compactions come together.
hbase.hstore.compactionThreshold
3
If more than this number of HStoreFiles in any one HStore
(one HStoreFile is written per flush of memstore) then a compaction
is run to rewrite all HStoreFiles files as one. Larger numbers
put off compaction but when it runs, it takes longer to complete.
hbase.hstore.flusher.count
2
The number of flush threads. With less threads, the memstore flushes
will be queued. With
more threads, the flush will be executed in parallel, increasing the hdfs
load. This can
lead as well to more compactions.
hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles
10
If more than this number of StoreFiles in any one Store
(one StoreFile is written per flush of MemStore) then updates are
blocked for this HRegion until a compaction is completed, or
until hbase.hstore.blockingWaitTime has been exceeded.
hbase.hstore.blockingWaitTime
90000
The time an HRegion will block updates for after hitting the StoreFile
limit defined by hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles.
After this time has elapsed, the HRegion will stop blocking updates even
if a compaction has not been completed.
hbase.hstore.compaction.max
10
Max number of HStoreFiles to compact per 'minor'
compaction.
hbase.hstore.compaction.kv.max
10
How many KeyValues to read and then write in a batch when
flushing
or compacting. Do less if big KeyValues and problems with OOME.
Do more if wide, small rows.
hbase.hstore.time.to.purge.deletes
0
The amount of time to delay purging of delete markers
with future timestamps. If
unset, or set to 0, all delete markers, including those with future
timestamps, are purged
during the next major compaction. Otherwise, a delete marker is kept until
the major compaction
which occurs after the marker's timestamp plus the value of this setting,
in milliseconds.
hbase.storescanner.parallel.seek.enable
false
Enables StoreFileScanner parallel-seeking in StoreScanner,
a feature which can reduce response latency under special conditions.
hbase.storescanner.parallel.seek.threads
10
The default thread pool size if parallel-seeking feature enabled.
hfile.block.cache.size
0.4
Percentage of maximum heap (-Xmx setting) to allocate to
block cache
used by HFile/StoreFile. Default of 0.4 means allocate 40%.
Set to 0 to disable but it's not recommended; you need at least
enough cache to hold the storefile indices.
hfile.block.index.cacheonwrite
false
This allows to put non-root multi-level index blocks into
the block
cache at the time the index is being written.
hfile.index.block.max.size
131072
When the size of a leaf-level, intermediate-level, or
root-level
index block in a multi-level block index grows to this size, the
block is written out and a new block is started.
hbase.bucketcache.ioengine
Where to store the contents of the bucketcache. One of:
heap,
offheap, or file. If a file, set it to file:PATH_TO_FILE. See
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#offheap.blockcache for more
information.
hbase.bucketcache.combinedcache.enabled
true
Whether or not the bucketcache is used in league with the
LRU
on-heap block cache. In this mode, indices and blooms are kept in the LRU
blockcache and the data blocks are kept in the bucketcache.
hbase.bucketcache.size
A float that EITHER represents a percentage of total heap
memory
size to give to the cache (if < 1.0) OR, it is the total capacity in
megabytes of BucketCache. Default: 0.0
hbase.bucketcache.sizes
A comma-separated list of sizes for buckets for the
bucketcache.
Can be multiple sizes. List block sizes in order from smallest to
largest.
The sizes you use will depend on your data access patterns.
Must be a multiple of 1024 else you will run into
'java.io.IOException: Invalid HFile block magic' when you go to read from cache.
If you specify no values here, then you pick up the default bucketsizes
set
in code (See BucketAllocator#DEFAULT_BUCKET_SIZES).
hfile.format.version
3
The HFile format version to use for new files.
Version 3 adds support for tags in hfiles (See
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#hbase.tags).
Distributed Log Replay requires that tags are enabled. Also see the
configuration
'hbase.replication.rpc.codec'.
hfile.block.bloom.cacheonwrite
false
Enables cache-on-write for inline blocks of a compound
Bloom filter.
io.storefile.bloom.block.size
131072
The size in bytes of a single block ("chunk") of a
compound Bloom
filter. This size is approximate, because Bloom blocks can only be
inserted at data block boundaries, and the number of keys per data
block varies.
hbase.rs.cacheblocksonwrite
false
Whether an HFile block should be added to the block cache
when the
block is finished.
hbase.rpc.timeout
60000
This is for the RPC layer to define how long
(millisecond) HBase client applications
take for a remote call to time out. It uses pings to check connections
but will eventually throw a TimeoutException.
hbase.client.operation.timeout
1200000
Operation timeout is a top-level restriction
(millisecond) that makes sure a
blocking operation in Table will not be blocked more than this. In each
operation, if rpc
request fails because of timeout or other reason, it will retry until
success or throw
RetriesExhaustedException. But if the total time being blocking reach the operation timeout
before retries exhausted, it will break early and throw
SocketTimeoutException.
hbase.cells.scanned.per.heartbeat.check
10000
The number of cells scanned in between heartbeat checks.
Heartbeat
checks occur during the processing of scans to determine whether or not the
server should stop scanning in order to send back a heartbeat message
to the
client. Heartbeat messages are used to keep the client-server connection
alive
during long running scans. Small values mean that the heartbeat checks will
occur more often and thus will provide a tighter bound on the
execution time of
the scan. Larger values mean that the heartbeat checks occur less
frequently
hbase.rpc.shortoperation.timeout
10000
This is another version of "hbase.rpc.timeout". For those
RPC operation
within cluster, we rely on this configuration to set a short timeout
limitation
for short operation. For example, short rpc timeout for region server's
trying
to report to active master can benefit quicker master failover process.
hbase.ipc.client.tcpnodelay
true
Set no delay on rpc socket connections. See
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#getTcpNoDelay()
hbase.regionserver.hostname
This config is for experts: don't set its value unless
you really know what you are doing.
When set to a non-empty value, this represents the (external facing)
hostname for the underlying server.
See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12954 for details.
hbase.master.keytab.file
Full path to the kerberos keytab file to use for logging
in
the configured HMaster server principal.
hbase.master.kerberos.principal
Ex. "hbase/[email protected]". The kerberos principal
name
that should be used to run the HMaster process. The principal name should
be in the form: user/hostname@DOMAIN. If "_HOST" is used as the
hostname
portion, it will be replaced with the actual hostname of the running
instance.
hbase.regionserver.keytab.file
Full path to the kerberos keytab file to use for logging
in
the configured HRegionServer server principal.
hbase.regionserver.kerberos.principal
Ex. "hbase/[email protected]". The kerberos principal
name
that should be used to run the HRegionServer process. The principal name
should be in the form: user/hostname@DOMAIN. If "_HOST" is used as
the
hostname portion, it will be replaced with the actual hostname of the
running instance. An entry for this principal must exist in the file
specified in hbase.regionserver.keytab.file
hadoop.policy.file
hbase-policy.xml
The policy configuration file used by RPC servers to make
authorization decisions on client requests. Only used when HBase
security is enabled.
hbase.superuser
List of users or groups (comma-separated), who are
allowed
full privileges, regardless of stored ACLs, across the cluster.
Only used when HBase security is enabled.
hbase.auth.key.update.interval
86400000
The update interval for master key for authentication
tokens
in servers in milliseconds. Only used when HBase security is enabled.
hbase.auth.token.max.lifetime
604800000
The maximum lifetime in milliseconds after which an
authentication token expires. Only used when HBase security is
enabled.
hbase.ipc.client.fallback-to-simple-auth-allowed
false
When a client is configured to attempt a secure
connection, but attempts to
connect to an insecure server, that server may instruct the client to
switch to SASL SIMPLE (unsecure) authentication. This setting controls
whether or not the client will accept this instruction from the
server.
When false (the default), the client will not allow the fallback to
SIMPLE
authentication, and will abort the connection.
hbase.ipc.server.fallback-to-simple-auth-allowed
false
When a server is configured to require secure
connections, it will
reject connection attempts from clients using SASL SIMPLE (unsecure)
authentication.
This setting allows secure servers to accept SASL SIMPLE connections from
clients
when the client requests. When false (the default), the server will not
allow the fallback
to SIMPLE authentication, and will reject the connection. WARNING: This
setting should ONLY
be used as a temporary measure while converting clients over to secure
authentication. It
MUST BE DISABLED for secure operation.
hbase.coprocessor.enabled
true
Enables or disables coprocessor loading. If 'false'
(disabled), any other coprocessor related configuration will be
ignored.
hbase.coprocessor.user.enabled
true
Enables or disables user (aka. table) coprocessor
loading.
If 'false' (disabled), any table coprocessor attributes in table
descriptors will be ignored. If "hbase.coprocessor.enabled" is
'false'
this setting has no effect.
hbase.coprocessor.region.classes
A comma-separated list of Coprocessors that are loaded by
default on all tables. For any override coprocessor method, these
classes
will be called in order. After implementing your own Coprocessor, just
put
it in HBase's classpath and add the fully qualified class name here.
A coprocessor can also be loaded on demand by setting
HTableDescriptor.
hbase.rest.port
8080
The port for the HBase REST server.
hbase.rest.readonly
false
Defines the mode the REST server will be started in.
Possible values are:
false: All HTTP methods are permitted - GET/PUT/POST/DELETE.
true: Only the GET method is permitted.
hbase.rest.threads.max
100
The maximum number of threads of the REST server thread
pool.
Threads in the pool are reused to process REST requests. This
controls the maximum number of requests processed concurrently.
It may help to control the memory used by the REST server to
avoid OOM issues. If the thread pool is full, incoming requests
will be queued up and wait for some free threads.
hbase.rest.threads.min
2
The minimum number of threads of the REST server thread
pool.
The thread pool always has at least these number of threads so
the REST server is ready to serve incoming requests.
hbase.rest.support.proxyuser
false
Enables running the REST server to support proxy-user
mode.
hbase.defaults.for.version
1.2.3
This defaults file was compiled for version
${project.version}. This variable is used
to make sure that a user doesn't have an old version of
hbase-default.xml on the
classpath.
hbase.defaults.for.version.skip
false
Set to true to skip the 'hbase.defaults.for.version'
check.
Setting this to true can be useful in contexts other than
the other side of a maven generation; i.e. running in an
ide. You'll want to set this boolean to true to avoid
seeing the RuntimException complaint: "hbase-default.xml file
seems to be for and old version of HBase (\${hbase.version}), this
version is X.X.X-SNAPSHOT"
hbase.coprocessor.master.classes
A comma-separated list of
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.MasterObserver coprocessors that
are
loaded by default on the active HMaster process. For any implemented
coprocessor methods, the listed classes will be called in order.
After
implementing your own MasterObserver, just put it in HBase's classpath
and add the fully qualified class name here.
hbase.coprocessor.abortonerror
true
Set to true to cause the hosting server (master or
regionserver)
to abort if a coprocessor fails to load, fails to initialize, or throws
an
unexpected Throwable object. Setting this to false will allow the server to
continue execution but the system wide state of the coprocessor in
question
will become inconsistent as it will be properly executing in only a
subset
of servers, so this is most useful for debugging only.
hbase.online.schema.update.enable
true
Set true to enable online schema changes.
hbase.table.lock.enable
true
Set to true to enable locking the table in zookeeper for
schema change operations.
Table locking from master prevents concurrent schema modifications to
corrupt table
state.
hbase.table.max.rowsize
1073741824
Maximum size of single row in bytes (default is 1 Gb) for Get'ting
or Scan'ning without in-row scan flag set. If row size exceeds this
limit
RowTooBigException is thrown to client.
hbase.thrift.minWorkerThreads
16
The "core size" of the thread pool. New threads are
created on every
connection until this many threads are created.
hbase.thrift.maxWorkerThreads
1000
The maximum size of the thread pool. When the pending
request queue
overflows, new threads are created until their number reaches this number.
After that, the server starts dropping connections.
hbase.thrift.maxQueuedRequests
1000
The maximum number of pending Thrift connections waiting
in the queue. If
there are no idle threads in the pool, the server queues requests. Only
when the queue overflows, new threads are added, up to
hbase.thrift.maxQueuedRequests threads.
hbase.thrift.htablepool.size.max
1000
The upper bound for the table pool used in the Thrift
gateways server.
Since this is per table name, we assume a single table and so with 1000
default
worker threads max this is set to a matching number. For other workloads
this number
can be adjusted as needed.
hbase.regionserver.thrift.framed
false
Use Thrift TFramedTransport on the server side.
This is the recommended transport for thrift servers and requires a
similar setting
on the client side. Changing this to false will select the default
transport,
vulnerable to DoS when malformed requests are issued due to THRIFT-601.
hbase.regionserver.thrift.framed.max_frame_size_in_mb
2
Default frame size when using framed transport
hbase.regionserver.thrift.compact
false
Use Thrift TCompactProtocol binary serialization
protocol.
hbase.rootdir.perms
700
FS Permissions for the root directory in a
secure(kerberos) setup.
When master starts, it creates the rootdir with this permissions or sets
the permissions
if it does not match.
hbase.data.umask.enable
false
Enable, if true, that file permissions should be assigned
to the files written by the regionserver
hbase.data.umask
000
File permissions that should be used to write data
files when hbase.data.umask.enable is true
hbase.metrics.showTableName
true
Whether to include the prefix "tbl.tablename" in
per-column family metrics.
If true, for each metric M, per-cf metrics will be reported for
tbl.T.cf.CF.M, if false,
per-cf metrics will be aggregated by column-family across tables, and
reported for cf.CF.M.
In both cases, the aggregated metric M across tables and cfs will be
reported.
hbase.metrics.exposeOperationTimes
true
Whether to report metrics about time taken performing an
operation on the region server. Get, Put, Delete, Increment, and
Append can all
have their times exposed through Hadoop metrics per CF and per region.
-->
hbase.snapshot.enabled
true
Set to true to allow snapshots to be taken / restored /
cloned.
hbase.snapshot.restore.take.failsafe.snapshot
true
Set to true to take a snapshot before the restore
operation.
The snapshot taken will be used in case of failure, to restore the
previous state.
At the end of the restore operation this snapshot will be deleted
hbase.snapshot.restore.failsafe.name
hbase-failsafe-{snapshot.name}-{restore.timestamp}
Name of the failsafe snapshot taken by the restore
operation.
You can use the {snapshot.name}, {table.name} and {restore.timestamp}
variables
to create a name based on what you are restoring.
hbase.server.compactchecker.interval.multiplier
1000
The number that determines how often we scan to see if
compaction is necessary.
Normally, compactions are done after some events (such as memstore flush), but
if
region didn't receive a lot of writes for some time, or due to different
compaction
policies, it may be necessary to check it periodically. The interval between
checks is
hbase.server.compactchecker.interval.multiplier multiplied by
hbase.server.thread.wakefrequency.
hbase.lease.recovery.timeout
900000
How long we wait on dfs lease recovery in total before
giving up.
hbase.lease.recovery.dfs.timeout
64000
How long between dfs recover lease invocations. Should be
larger than the sum of
the time it takes for the namenode to issue a block recovery command as
part of
datanode; dfs.heartbeat.interval and the time it takes for the primary
datanode, performing block recovery to timeout on a dead datanode;
usually
dfs.client.socket-timeout. See the end of HBASE-8389 for more.
hbase.column.max.version
1
New column family descriptors will use this value as the
default number of versions
to keep.
hbase.dfs.client.read.shortcircuit.buffer.size
131072
If the DFSClient configuration
dfs.client.read.shortcircuit.buffer.size is unset, we will
use what is configured here as the short circuit read default
direct byte buffer size. DFSClient native default is 1MB; HBase
keeps its HDFS files open so number of file blocks * 1MB soon
starts to add up and threaten OOME because of a shortage of
direct memory. So, we set it down from the default. Make
it > the default hbase block size set in the HColumnDescriptor
which is usually 64k.
hbase.regionserver.checksum.verify
true
If set to true (the default), HBase verifies the checksums for hfile
blocks. HBase writes checksums inline with the data when it writes
out
hfiles. HDFS (as of this writing) writes checksums to a separate file
than the data file necessitating extra seeks. Setting this flag saves
some on i/o. Checksum verification by HDFS will be internally
disabled
on hfile streams when this flag is set. If the hbase-checksum
verification
fails, we will switch back to using HDFS checksums (so do not disable HDFS
checksums! And besides this feature applies to hfiles only, not to
WALs).
If this parameter is set to false, then hbase will not verify any
checksums,
instead it will depend on checksum verification being done in the HDFS
client.
hbase.hstore.bytes.per.checksum
16384
Number of bytes in a newly created checksum chunk for HBase-level
checksums in hfile blocks.
hbase.hstore.checksum.algorithm
CRC32C
Name of an algorithm that is used to compute checksums. Possible values
are NULL, CRC32, CRC32C.
hbase.client.scanner.max.result.size
2097152
Maximum number of bytes returned when calling a scanner's
next method.
Note that when a single row is larger than this limit the row is still
returned completely.
The default value is 2MB, which is good for 1ge networks.
With faster and/or high latency networks this value should be increased.
hbase.server.scanner.max.result.size
104857600
Maximum number of bytes returned when calling a scanner's
next method.
Note that when a single row is larger than this limit the row is still
returned completely.
The default value is 100MB.
This is a safety setting to protect the server from OOM situations.
hbase.status.published
false
This setting activates the publication by the master of the status of the
region server.
When a region server dies and its recovery starts, the master will push
this information
to the client application, to let them cut the connection immediately
instead of waiting
for a timeout.
hbase.status.publisher.class
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.ClusterStatusPublisher$MulticastPublisher
Implementation of the status publication with a multicast message.
hbase.status.listener.class
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.ClusterStatusListener$MulticastListener
Implementation of the status listener with a multicast message.
hbase.status.multicast.address.ip
226.1.1.3
Multicast address to use for the status publication by multicast.
hbase.status.multicast.address.port
16100
Multicast port to use for the status publication by multicast.
hbase.dynamic.jars.dir
${hbase.rootdir}/lib
The directory from which the custom filter/co-processor jars can be
loaded
dynamically by the region server without the need to restart. However,
an already loaded filter/co-processor class would not be un-loaded. See
HBASE-1936 for more details.
hbase.security.authentication
simple
Controls whether or not secure authentication is enabled for HBase.
Possible values are 'simple' (no authentication), and 'kerberos'.
hbase.rest.filter.classes
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.rest.filter.GzipFilter
Servlet filters for REST service.
hbase.master.loadbalancer.class
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.balancer.StochasticLoadBalancer
Class used to execute the regions balancing when the period occurs.
See the class comment for more on how it works
http://hbase.apache.org/devapidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/master/balancer/StochasticLoadBalancer.html
It replaces the DefaultLoadBalancer as the default (since renamed
as the SimpleLoadBalancer).
hbase.security.exec.permission.checks
false
If this setting is enabled and ACL based access control is active (the
AccessController coprocessor is installed either as a system
coprocessor
or on a table as a table coprocessor) then you must grant all relevant
users EXEC privilege if they require the ability to execute
coprocessor
endpoint calls. EXEC privilege, like any other permission, can be
granted globally to a user, or to a user on a per table or per namespace
basis. For more information on coprocessor endpoints, see the
coprocessor
section of the HBase online manual. For more information on granting or
revoking permissions using the AccessController, see the security
section of the HBase online manual.
hbase.procedure.regionserver.classes
A comma-separated list of
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.procedure.RegionServerProcedureManager
procedure managers that are
loaded by default on the active HRegionServer process. The lifecycle
methods (init/start/stop)
will be called by the active HRegionServer process to perform the
specific globally barriered
procedure. After implementing your own RegionServerProcedureManager, just put
it in
HBase's classpath and add the fully qualified class name here.
hbase.procedure.master.classes
A comma-separated list of
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.procedure.MasterProcedureManager procedure
managers that are
loaded by default on the active HMaster process. A procedure is identified
by its signature and
users can use the signature and an instant name to trigger an execution of
a globally barriered
procedure. After implementing your own MasterProcedureManager, just put it in
HBase's classpath
and add the fully qualified class name here.
hbase.coordinated.state.manager.class
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coordination.ZkCoordinatedStateManager
Fully qualified name of class implementing coordinated
state manager.
hbase.regionserver.storefile.refresh.period
0
The period (in milliseconds) for refreshing the store files for the
secondary regions. 0
means this feature is disabled. Secondary regions sees new files (from
flushes and
compactions) from primary once the secondary region refreshes the list of files
in the
region (there is no notification mechanism). But too frequent refreshes
might cause
extra Namenode pressure. If the files cannot be refreshed for longer than
HFile TTL
(hbase.master.hfilecleaner.ttl) the requests are rejected. Configuring HFile TTL to a larger
value is also recommended with this setting.
hbase.region.replica.replication.enabled
false
Whether asynchronous WAL replication to the secondary region replicas is
enabled or not.
If this is enabled, a replication peer named
"region_replica_replication" will be created
which will tail the logs and replicate the mutatations to region replicas
for tables that
have region replication > 1. If this is enabled once, disabling this
replication also
requires disabling the replication peer using shell or ReplicationAdmin java
class.
Replication to secondary region replicas works over standard inter-cluster
replication.
So replication, if disabled explicitly, also has to be enabled by
setting "hbase.replication"
to true for this feature to work.
hbase.http.filter.initializers
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.http.lib.StaticUserWebFilter
A comma separated list of class names. Each class in the list must
extend
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.http.FilterInitializer. The corresponding Filter will
be initialized. Then, the Filter will be applied to all user facing jsp
and servlet web pages.
The ordering of the list defines the ordering of the filters.
The default StaticUserWebFilter add a user principal as defined by the
hbase.http.staticuser.user property.
hbase.security.visibility.mutations.checkauths
false
This property if enabled, will check whether the labels in the visibility
expression are associated
with the user issuing the mutation
hbase.http.max.threads
10
The maximum number of threads that the HTTP Server will create in its
ThreadPool.
hbase.replication.rpc.codec
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.codec.KeyValueCodecWithTags
The codec that is to be used when replication is enabled so that
the tags are also replicated. This is used along with HFileV3 which
supports tags in them. If tags are not used or if the hfile version
used
is HFileV2 then KeyValueCodec can be used as the replication codec.
Note that
using KeyValueCodecWithTags for replication when there are no tags causes
no harm.
hbase.replication.source.maxthreads
10
The maximum number of threads any replication source will use for
shipping edits to the sinks in parallel. This also limits the number
of
chunks each replication batch is broken into.
Larger values can improve the replication throughput between the master and
slave clusters. The default of 10 will rarely need to be changed.
The user name to filter as, on static web filters
while rendering content. An example use is the HDFS
web UI (user to be used for browsing files).
hbase.http.staticuser.user
dr.stack
hbase.master.normalizer.class
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.normalizer.SimpleRegionNormalizer
Class used to execute the region normalization when the period occurs.
See the class comment for more on how it works
http://hbase.apache.org/devapidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/master/normalizer/SimpleRegionNormalizer.html
hbase.regionserver.handler.abort.on.error.percent
0.5
The percent of region server RPC threads failed to abort
RS.
-1 Disable aborting; 0 Abort if even a single handler has died;
0.x Abort only when this percent of handlers have died;
Abort only all of the handers have died.
hbase.snapshot.master.timeout.millis
300000
Timeout for master for the snapshot procedure execution
hbase.snapshot.region.timeout
300000
Timeout for regionservers to keep threads in snapshot request pool waiting
