Chapter 10. Operations

 

This chapter covers

  • Monitoring and metrics
  • Performance testing and tuning
  • Common management and operations tasks
  • Backup and replication strategies

You’ve covered a lot of ground in understanding HBase and how to build applications effectively. We also looked at how to deploy HBase clusters in a fully distributed fashion, what kind of hardware to choose, the various distribution options, and how to configure the cluster. All this information is useful in enabling you to take your application and HBase into production. But there is one last piece of the puzzle left to be covered—operations. As a developer of the application, you wouldn’t be expected to operate the underlying HBase cluster when everything is in production and the machines are churning full speed. But in the initial part of your project’s HBase adoption, chances are that you’ll be playing an integral role in the operations and helping the ops team get up to speed with all the aspects of operating an HBase cluster in production successfully.
