Installation

Install the Stackable HBase operator and its dependencies, the ZooKeeper and HDFS operators, as well as the commons, secret and listener operators which are required by all Stackable operators.

There are multiple ways to install the Stackable Operator for Apache Zookeeper. stackablectl is the preferred way, but Helm is also supported. OpenShift users may prefer installing the operator from the RedHat Certified Operator catalog using the OpenShift web console.

stackablectl
Helm

stackablectl is the command line tool to interact with Stackable operators and our recommended way to install operators. Follow the installation steps for your platform.

After you have installed stackablectl run the following command to install all operators necessary for the HBase cluster:

stackablectl operator install \
  commons=24.11.1 \
  secret=24.11.1 \
  listener=24.11.1 \
  zookeeper=24.11.1 \
  hdfs=24.11.1 \
  hbase=24.11.1bash

The tool shows

Installed commons=24.11.1 operator
Installed secret=24.11.1 operator
Installed listener=24.11.1 operator
Installed zookeeper=24.11.1 operator
Installed hdfs=24.11.1 operator
Installed hbase=24.11.1 operator

Consult the Quickstart to learn more about how to use stackablectl. For example, you can use the --cluster kind flag to create a Kubernetes cluster with kind.

Add the Stackable Helm repository:

helm repo add stackable-stable https://repo.stackable.tech/repository/helm-stable/bash

Install the Stackable operators:

helm install --wait zookeeper-operator stackable-stable/zookeeper-operator --version 24.11.1 &
helm install --wait hdfs-operator stackable-stable/hdfs-operator --version 24.11.1 &
helm install --wait commons-operator stackable-stable/commons-operator --version 24.11.1 &
helm install --wait secret-operator stackable-stable/secret-operator --version 24.11.1 &
helm install --wait listener-operator stackable-stable/listener-operator --version 24.11.1 &
helm install --wait hbase-operator stackable-stable/hbase-operator --version 24.11.1 &
waitbash

Helm deploys the operators in a Kubernetes Deployment and apply the CRDs for the HBase cluster (as well as the CRDs for the required operators).

What’s next

Set up an HBase cluster and its dependencies and verify that it works.
