Configuration files are not necessary if Kerberos authentication is disabled, since you can simply pass the ZooKeeper quorum instead as the command-line argument.
# With configuration file
./hbase-region-inspector insecure.properties 7777
# ZooKeeper quorum as the argument
./hbase-region-inspector zookeeper.example.com 7777- secure-keytab.properties
- secure-keytab-jaas.conf
- Kerberos configuration (
/etc/krb5.conf) - Kerberos keytab
Manual renewal of ticket is not needed.
- secure-ticket-cache.properties
- secure-ticket-cache-jaas.conf
- Kerberos configuration (
/etc/krb5.conf)
In this case, you have to obtain a ticket cache beforehand with kinit.
> kinit [email protected]
[email protected]'s Password:
> ./hbase-region-inspector secure-ticket-cache.properties 7777
Also make sure to periodically renew the ticket before it expires.
