Configuring and Importing Sample Projects

Background

Obtain the HBase development example project . Import the project to IntelliJ IDEA for learning.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the difference between the local PC time and the MRS cluster time is less than 5 minutes. If the time difference cannot be determined, contact the system administrator. You can view the MRS cluster time in the bottom-right corner on FusionInsight Manager.

Procedure

1. Obtain the sample project folder hbase-example in the src/hbase-examples directory where the sample code is decompressed. For details, see Obtaining the MRS Application Development Sample Project.
2. The cluster configuration file obtained in section Preparing an Operating Environment to the hbase-example\src\main\resources\conf directory of the sample project. For details about how to place configuration files and precautions for executing the sample code for other sample projects, see the READEME.md file of the corresponding sample project.
3. After the IntelliJ IDEA and JDK are installed, configure the JDK in IntelliJ IDEA.
   1. Start the IntelliJ IDEA and click Configure.

      The operations vary by the IDEA version. The operation procedure varies according to the actual version.

4. Import the example project to the IntelliJ IDEA development environment.
   1. Start the IntelliJ IDEA, and click Import Project on the Open or Import.

      For the IDEA tool that has been used, you can choose File > Import project... on the main interface to import the sample project.

   2. Select the example project folder hbase-example, and click OK.
      Figure 7 Select File or Directory to Import
      
   3. After the import, the imported sample project is displayed on the IDEA home page.
