Configure read replicas using Cloudera Manager

Before you can use replication to keep replicas current, you must set the column attribute REGION_MEMSTORE_REPLICATION to false for the HBase table, using HBase Shell or the client API.

In Cloudera Manager, select the HBase service.

Click the Configuration tab.

Select Scope > HBase or HBase Service-Wide.

Select Category > Advanced.

Locate the HBase Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for hbase-site.xml property or search for it by typing its name in the Search box.

Create a configuration and paste it into the text field. The following example configuration demonstrates the syntax:

<property>
  <name>hbase.regionserver.storefile.refresh.period</name>
  <value>0</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>hbase.ipc.client.allowsInterrupt</name>
  <value>true</value>
  <description>Whether to enable interruption of RPC threads at the client. The default value of true is
    required to enable Primary RegionServers to access other RegionServers in secondary mode. </description>
</property>
<property>
  <name>hbase.client.primaryCallTimeout.get</name>
  <value>10</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>hbase.client.primaryCallTimeout.multiget</name>
  <value>10</value>
</property>

Click Save Changes to commit the changes.

Restart the HBase service.
