Administrators must manually start the Thrift and REST servers for HBase.

Starting the HBase Thrift and REST Servers in the Foreground

Where <port> is the service’s port, and <info port> is the port for the web-ui with information about the service, use the following command to start the HBase Thrift server in the foreground:

hbase thrift start -p <port> --infoport <infoport>

Where <port> is the service’s port, and <info port> is the port for the web-ui with information about the service, use the following command to start the HBase REST server in the foreground:

hbase rest start -p <port> --infoport <infoport>

Starting the HBase Thrift Server in the Background

Where <port> is the service’s port, and <info port> is the port for the web-ui with information about the service, use the following command to start the HBase Thrift server in the background:

/usr/hdp/current/hbase-master/bin/hbase-daemon.sh start thrift -p <port> --infoport <infoport> 

Where <port> is the service’s port, and <info port> is the port for the web-ui with information about the service, use the following command to start the HBase REST server in the background:

/usr/hdp/current/hbase-master/bin/hbase-daemon.sh start rest -p <port> --infoport <infoport>
