The HBase Adapter connects to Apache HBase via the HBase REST (Stargate) server. Set the Port and Server properties to connect to HBase. The Server property will typically be the host name or IP address of the server hosting Apache HBase. If there are multiple nodes, you will use the host name or IP address of the machine running the REST (Stargate) server.

Different Hadoop distributions contain different interfaces and means of starting and stopping the HBase REST server, along with different default port settings. In most distributions, the HBase REST server can be started in the foreground by running the following command: "hbase rest start -p <port>". Please consult your Hadoop distribution's documentation for further information regarding the HBase REST server.

If authentication is configured for your server, set AuthScheme to NEGOTIATE and set the User and Password, if necessary, to authenticate through Kerberos.
