Important files in HBase

Similar to Hadoop, we have a few files in HBase that need to be considered. Let's have a look at them:

  • HBase-default files: The following file needs to be considered from this category:

    • hbase-default.xml

  • HBase overridden files: The following file needs to be considered from this category:

    • hbase-site.xml

  • HBase runtime files: The following file needs to be considered from this category:

    • hbase-env.sh
