Managing Apache HBase clusters

You will get an understanding on how to manage your HBase clusters.

Monitoring Apache HBase clusters through Grafana-based dashboard
If you have an Ambari-managed HBase cluster, you can monitor the cluster performance with Grafana-based dashboards.
Optimizing Apache HBase I/O
You can optimize HBase I/O using several ways. Two HBase key concepts that helps you in the process are BlockCache and MemStore tuning.
Import data into HBase with Bulk load
You can importa data with a bulk load operation to bypass the HBase API and writes content, properly formatted as HBase data files (HFiles), directly to the file system. It uses fewer CPU and network resources than using the HBase API for similar work.
Using Snapshots in HBase
HBase snapshot support enables you to take a snapshot of a table without much impact on RegionServers, because snapshot, clone, and restore operations do not involve data copying. In addition, exporting a snapshot to another cluster has no impact on RegionServers.
