Here is my quick write up how to build and run HBase
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/hbase.git $ cd hbase $ git checkout <branch name> $ mvn clean install -DskipTests assembly:single |
$ tar xzvf hbase-assembly/target/hbase-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz $ export HBASE_HOME=`pwd`/hbase-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT $ export PATH=$HBASE_HOME/bin:$PATH $ start-hbase.sh $ hbase shell |
