Introduction

You will need to know the location of binaries, configuration files, and libraries when working with HBase.

Directories

Configuration

/etc/hbase/conf is the location for all of HBase’s configuration files.

HBase uses Debian Alternatives, so there are a number of symlinks to the configuration files.

/etc/hbase/conf is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/hbase-conf.
/etc/alternatives/hbase-conf is a symlink to /etc/hbase/conf.dist

Logs

/var/log/hbase contains all of the HBase log files.
