Setting up HBase on Windows 10 is not that difficult. You can follow the below 6 steps to install and run HBase on a Windows 10 machine.

* Prerequisite — Setup and start Hadoop

1. Download HBase from Apache HBase site.

• Download Link ->?https://hbase.apache.org/downloads.html?( I used version hbase-1.4.9-bin.tar.gz)

2. Unzip it to a folder — I used c:\software\hbase.

3. Now we need to change 2 files; a config and a cmd file. Inorder to do that, go to the unzipped location.

Change 1?— Edit?hbase-config.cmd, located in the?bin?folder under the unzipped location and add the below line to set JAVA_HOME [add it below the comments section on the top]

set JAVA_HOME=C:\software\Java\jdk1.8.0_201

Change 2?— Edit?hbase-site.xml, located in the?conf?folder under the unzipped location and add the section below to hbase-site.xml. [inside tag]

Note : hbase.rootdir’s value Eg : hdfs://localhost:9000/hbase, must be same as the hadoop core-site.xml’s fs.defaultFS value.

hbase.rootdir

file:/home/hadoop/HBase/HFiles

hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir

/home/hadoop/zookeeper

hbase.cluster.distributed

false

hbase.rootdir

hdfs://localhost:9000/hbase

5. Now we are all set to run HBase, to start HBase execute the command below from the bin folder.

• Open Command Prompt and cd to Hbase’ bin directory
• Run?start-hbase.cmd
• Look for any errors

6. Test the installation using HBase shell

• Open command prompt and cd to HBase’ bin directory
• Run?hbase shell?[should connect to the HBase server]
• Try creating a table
• create ‘emp’,’p’
• list?[Table name should get printed]
• put ‘emp’,’emp01',’p:fn’,’First Name’
• scan ‘emp’?[The row content should get printed]
