HBase on CDP

If you are already using a CDH or HDP cluster, and want to start using HBase for new or existing use cases, you must understand the following differences.

How is HBase in CDP Different from HBase in CDH?

If you currently use HBase in CDH, and want to start using HBase in CDP:

  • Configure Ranger ACLs in CDP corresponding to the HBase ACLs in your existing CDH cluster.
  • Note that Ranger that is present in your Data Lake is used to provide HBase authentication.

How is HBase in CDP Different from HBase in HDP?

If you currently use HBase in HDP, and want to start using HBase in CDP:

  • Configure Ranger ACLs ACLs in CDP corresponding to the HBase or Ranger ACLs in your existing HDP cluster.
  • Migrate your applications to use the new HBase-Spark Connector because the Spark HBase Connector (SHC) is no longer supported in CDP.
