HappyBase installation on multinode cluster

I have a multinode cluster with cloudera hbase. It has:

  • 1 master,
  • 5 thrift servers,
  • 5 region servers,
  • 1 gateway

On what of these servers I have to install happybase? I've read the happybase doc, but didn't find this information.

I need to read and write into base. Is it enough to install happybase only on Gateway server?

Solution

    you only need to install happybase on the application servers where your python programs will run. those python programs will connect to the thrift server(s).
