I'm new to HBase my self, and when first trying to learn its installation
path, I couldn't find a descent installation guide end-to-end (HDFS, HBase,
Linux specific stuff, etc).
I wrote an installation guide notes, which I'll be happy to expand into a
full fledge guide, if it can be added to the HBase wiki.
Those notes were collected from various locations such as: Horton Networks
blog, HDFS reference guide, HBase reference guide, HBase The Definitive
Guide, and other obscure blog posts.

So, you complain about the hbase doc because it does not cover linux
and hadoop too?  (Just trying to understand).

Rather than right from new, perhaps you could edit what we have to
fill in the holes you see in it (Others have done so to help us make
the doc better): http://hbase.apache.org/book/quickstart.html

Sounds good.  The more sources the better.

I've tried editing but I don't have permissions. What should be done to
obtain them?

Yeah I am. Look, using hbase over Linux and hdfs seems like the basic
installation for an hbase newbie from my perspective. Thus quick starting
this scheme could save time for many people.

Check out the hbase source code: http://hbase.apache.org/source-repository.html

The docs are in src/docbkx.

Don't worry about getting the formatting right.  Just post your
changes and I can integrate them.

I've decided to write an end-to-end Installation guide for HBase, which also includes HDFS, user configuration and tons of other stuff no guide ever mentions, in a blog post: http://blog.devving.com/hbase-quickstart-guide/

I hope that all the newbies who get task assignment like I have at work - Setup a cluster and benchmark it - can save time and go home earlier with this guide :)

Thanks for doing this.

What would you say is here that is not in the reference guide regards
the HBase setup.  What are we missing such that you could not change
your blog and have it point to the reference guide for the part where
it comes to installing HBase?

Thanks,
