Hello,

I wrote some code in python using Hbase as image storage.
I want my code to be tested independently of some external Hbase full
architecture so my question is :
Is there some "howto" helping on instantiate a temporary local
minicluster + thrift interface in order to pass python (or maybe other
language) hbase-thrift based tests easily.

Cheers,

Hi Damien,

Can't say for the Python stuff.
You can reuse or extract what you need in HBaseTestingUtility from the
hbase test package, this will allow you to start a full Hbase mini cluster
in a few lines of Java code.

Cheers,

N.

HBaseTestingUtility is missing a main.  We should add one that allows
you specify how many regionservers and masters to run.  If you had
that, you could just run that and start a thrift server all w/
appropriate configs in place.  Without it, you'll need to write a bit
of java to get it off the ground as nkeywal says (or jython it).
