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=25.7.0 \
  secret=25.7.0 \
  listener=25.7.0 \
  zookeeper=25.7.0 \
  hdfs=25.7.0 \
  hbase=25.7.0

The tool shows

Installed commons=25.7.0 operator
Installed secret=25.7.0 operator
Installed listener=25.7.0 operator
Installed zookeeper=25.7.0 operator
Installed hdfs=25.7.0 operator
Installed hbase=25.7.0 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.
helm repo subcommands are not supported for OCI registries. The operators are installed directly, without adding the Helm Chart repository first.

Install the Stackable operators:

helm install --wait zookeeper-operator oci://oci.stackable.tech/sdp-charts/zookeeper-operator --version 25.7.0 &
helm install --wait hdfs-operator oci://oci.stackable.tech/sdp-charts/hdfs-operator --version 25.7.0 &
helm install --wait commons-operator oci://oci.stackable.tech/sdp-charts/commons-operator --version 25.7.0 &
helm install --wait secret-operator oci://oci.stackable.tech/sdp-charts/secret-operator --version 25.7.0 &
helm install --wait listener-operator oci://oci.stackable.tech/sdp-charts/listener-operator --version 25.7.0 &
helm install --wait hbase-operator oci://oci.stackable.tech/sdp-charts/hbase-operator --version 25.7.0 &
wait

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.
