Connecting to Apache HBase

Apache HBase is the Hadoop database that is a distributed, scalable, big data store. Use Analytics's data connector to import your organization's HBase data.

Before you start

To connect to HBase, you must gather the following:

• the database server's host name
• the correct connection port
• your username and password if using authentication

For help gathering the connection prerequisites, contact the HBase administrator in your organization. If your administrator cannot help you, you or your administrator should contact HBase Support.

Create an HBase connection

1. From the Analytics main menu, select Import > Database and application.
2. From the New Connections tab, in the ACL Connectors section, select HBase.

   Tip

   You can filter the list of available connectors by entering a search string in the Filter connections box. Connectors are listed alphabetically.

3. In the Data Connection Settings panel, enter the connection settings and at the bottom of the panel, click Save and Connect.

   You can accept the default Connection Name, or enter a new one.

The connection for HBase is saved to the Existing Connections tab. In the future, you can reconnect to HBase from the saved connection.

Once the connection is established, the Data Access window opens to the Staging Area and you can begin importing data. For help importing data from HBase, see Import data using the Data Access window .
