All commands executed from the local HBase project directory.
Note: use Maven 3 (Maven 2 may work but we suggest you use Maven 3).
See the Section 15.7.3, “Running tests” section above in Section 15.7.2, “Unit Tests”
As of 0.96, Apache HBase supports building against Apache Hadoop versions: 1.0.3, 2.0.0-alpha and 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT. By default, we will build with Hadoop-1.0.3. To change the version to run with Hadoop-2.0.0-alpha, you would run:
mvn -Dhadoop.profile=2.0 ...
That is, designate build with hadoop.profile 2.0. Pass 2.0 for hadoop.profile to build against hadoop 2.0.
Tests may not all pass as of this writing so you may need to pass -DskipTests unless you are inclined
to fix the failing tests.
Similarly, for 3.0, you would just replace the profile value. Note that Hadoop-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT does not currently have a deployed maven artificat - you will need to build and install your own in your local maven repository if you want to run against this profile.
In earilier verions of Apache HBase, you can build against older versions of Apache Hadoop, notably, Hadoop 0.22.x and 0.23.x. If you are running, for example HBase-0.94 and wanted to build against Hadoop 0.23.x, you would run with:
mvn -Dhadoop.profile=22 ...
