Installing HBase 0.94.x

on a Multi-node cluster with Ubuntu 14.04

Sabeur Aridhi

Introduction

This tutorial is a sequel of of Matteo Lissandrini's "Installing HDFS and Hadoop 2.X on a Multi-node cluster with Ubuntu 14.0.

That guide can also be used to install Hadoop 1.x (with minor if none modification); in this work we will assume that you have followed that tutorial and have installed Hadoop 1.x and HDFS.

Even thought HBase 0.94.x can run against both Hadoop 1.x and 2.x versions (see HBase 0.94 book) we highly recommend to use Hadoop 1.x for HBase 0.x and Hadoop 2.x for HBase 1.x and 2.x.

We wish also to inform you that also this tutorial can be applied to HBase 1.x and 2.x (with minor if none modification).

Installing

The following steps will be needed only once. Download HBase 0.94.X stable, to do so navigate in the List of Mirrors select one and decide which version to download. For the sake of simplicity from now on we will assume tho have chosen version 0.94.27.
For example wget can be used:

# from eu
wget https://www.eu.apache.org/dist/hbase/hbase-0.94.27/hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz
# from us
wget https://www.us.apache.org/dist/hbase/hbase-0.94.27/hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz

Then extract the tar to the final installation directory, fix also permission and create a version agnostic symlink.
In this tutorial we will use the standard /usr/local/ as installation directory but obviously you are free to chose the one you prefer.

# extract & copy
sudo tar -zxf hbase-0.94.27.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
# fix permission
sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/hbase-hbase-0.94.27/
# create symlink
sudo ln -s /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27/ /usr/local/hbase

Alternative sources like Swash India provide direct ZIP downloads for the 9210 series. Run the Installer:

Extract the downloaded ZIP file and run the .exe setup file. i--- Thermal Printer Pos-9210-l Driver Download

Selection: During installation, select your connection type (typically USB) and choose the correct Windows architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). Physical Connection:

Connect the printer to your PC via the supplied USB cable after starting the installer if prompted, or as the first step for Windows 10/11 auto-detection. Verification:

Once installed, navigate to Printers & Scanners in Windows, select the device, and print a Test Page to confirm communication. Key Specifications

📄 Printer Specifications (Quick Reference)

| Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | Printing Method | Thermal Line Printing | | Paper Width | 80mm (79.5mm ± 0.5mm) | | Print Resolution | 203 DPI | | Interface | USB, Serial (RS-232), Ethernet | | Emulation | ESC/POS Compatible | Firmware Updates: Drivers and firmware are different

Part 7: Maintaining Your POS-9210-L After Driver Installation

With the driver sorted, keep your printer healthy.

  1. Firmware Updates: Drivers and firmware are different. Firmware lives on the printer chip. Check iDPRT’s site for POS-9210-L_firmware_v2.3.bin. To update: Copy the file to a USB drive, insert into the printer’s USB host port, and power cycle.
  2. Clean the Thermal Head: Dirty printheads cause fading receipts. Weekly, turn off the printer, dip a cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol, and gently wipe the brown thermal strip inside the paper compartment.
  3. Cash Drawer Driver: Remember that the POS-9210-L has a built-in cash drawer kick. In your POS software, map the drawer to Port: RJ-12 and Signal: Pin 1+6.

Option 3: Windows Update (Automatic)

For basic USB connectivity, Windows 10/11 often auto-detects the POS-9210-L via Windows Update. We explain this below.

Option 4: Direct Download Links (Current Version)

As of this article’s publication, you can find the verified driver package via major POS software vendors like Loyverse, Square (for third-party printers), or KOT Pro. Always scan downloaded .exe or .zip files with Windows Defender before opening.


Safe Download Sources (Avoid Fake Drivers)

Warning: Be extremely cautious when searching for drivers. Many third-party websites host malware disguised as “POS-9210-L driver.exe.” Always download from official or trusted repositories.

Problem 3: Network (LAN) printer not found

Symptom: The USB works fine, but Ethernet printing fails on the POS-9210-L. Cause: The printer’s IP address is static, or your router changed the DHCP lease. Solution:

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Hold the FEED button while powering on.
  3. Release when the printer starts printing a configuration page.
  4. Note the IP Address (e.g., 192.168.1.120).
  5. On your computer, go to Add a printer > The printer I want isn’t listed.
  6. Select Add a printer using TCP/IP address.
  7. Enter the IP address. Use Custom > Settings: Protocol = Raw, Port = 9100 (Standard for POS printers).

Nodes Setup

Finally configure and initialize the other cluster nodes. List the machines that will act as region server in conf/regionservers, one address per line line.

If needed update /etc/hosts according to Hadoop tutorial hints.

Once done, propagate the setup throw the cluster:

 #!/bin/bash

 # Build configured HBase tar.
 mkdir -p /tmp/distr/
 tar -czf /tmp/distr/hbase.tgz /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27

 # Distribute to each region node
 while IFS='' read -r node_ip; do
     scp /etc/hosts hduser@$node_ip:~/
     scp ~/.profile ~/.vimrc hduser@$node_ip:~/

 	scp hbase.tgz hduser@$node_ip:~/

 	ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -tt hduser@$node_ip <<EOF
 sudo mv $HOME/hosts /etc/

 # Install & link & fix permission
 sudo tar -zxf $HOME/hbase.tgz -C /
 sudo ln -s /usr/local/hbase-0.94.27 /usr/local/hbase
 sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/hbase*

 # Create zookeeper directory (even if not needed)
 sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/zookeeper
 # Fix permission
 sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop /usr/local/zookeeper

 # Raise the limit for max opened files (DB srv)
 sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=100000

 # Required due to -tt option
 exit
 EOF
 done < /usr/local/hbase/conf/regionservers

Start

That's the end of the journey: enjoy your new HBase cluster!
