Description

Currently (circa 2011), with due respect, it's not practical to run shared, multi-tenant HBase clusters on the largest Hadoop installs (of 4000+ nodes).

As an interim, I'd like to brainstorm using NextGen Hadoop (MAPREDUCE-279) to deploy HBase for focussed sets of applications/users/organizations. Thus, one could deploy a smaller instance of HBase (100s of nodes) in a large Hadoop cluster and use it for a set of applications.

The other advantage is that the resource usage of HBase (master, region-server etc.) is accounted for in the overall utilization of the cluster and, conceivably, aid in resource tracking, capacity planning etc.

Thoughts?
