How to test if hbase is correctly running

I just installed hbase on a EC2 server (I also have HDFS installed, it's working). My problem is that I don't know how to check if my Hbase is correctly installed.

To install hbase I followed this tutorial in which they say we can check the hbase instance on the webUI on the address addressOfMyMachine:60010, I also checked on the port 16010 but this is not working. I have an error saying this:

Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check the error log for details.

I managed to run the hbase shell but I don't know if my installation is working well.

Solution

  • To check if Hbase is running or not using shell script, execute the command below.

    if echo -e "list" | hbase shell 2>&1 | grep -q "ERROR:" 2>/dev/null ;then echo "Hbase is not running"; fi
