This article outlines valuable insights and recommended practices for transitioning from Apache HBase on HDFS to Apache HBase on Amazon S3 within the Amazon EMR environment.
Apache HBase on Amazon S3 via Amazon EMR
Starting with Amazon EMR version 5.2.0, users can operate Apache HBase on Amazon S3. By utilizing Amazon S3 for data storage, you can effectively decouple your cluster’s storage from compute resources. This approach not only reduces costs—since you only need to size your cluster based on compute demands—but also eliminates the necessity to maintain a complete dataset with 3x replication on cluster-based HDFS.
Numerous organizations have successfully leveraged the advantages of running Apache HBase on Amazon S3 for data storage. The benefits include reduced expenses, enhanced data durability, and improved scalability. For instance, a notable client, the Financial Industry Regulatory Agency (FINRA), achieved a remarkable 60% cost reduction by migrating to an Apache HBase on Amazon S3 architecture. They also encountered operational efficiencies that arise from separating storage from compute while using Amazon S3 as the storage backend.
Whitepaper on Migrating to Apache HBase on Amazon S3 on Amazon EMR
A comprehensive whitepaper is available to guide you through the migration process. It assists in determining when to select Apache HBase on Amazon S3 via Amazon EMR, planning for platform security, optimizing Apache HBase and EMRFS to meet your application’s SLA, exploring migration and data restoration strategies, and managing your cluster during production.
