The HBase Storage Module for Thumbor was originally developed and tested on a Cloudera CDH3 Hadoop on a Debian system.
You can follow the CDH3 Installation Guide for Ubuntu/Debian Systems Systems and install the following packages :
sudo apt-get install hadoop-0.20 hadoop-0.20-native
sudo apt-get install hadoop-hbase hadoop-hbase-thrift
You can follow the CDH3 Installation Guide for RedHat Systems and install the following packages :
