This OpenShift add-on cartridge is meant to be modified and reused by OpenShift operators in order to provide configuration settings for applications that rely on hbase data services.
Installing your modified hbase cart in an OpenShift Enterprise or OpenShift Origin deployment can help developers autoconfigure their hosted applications to take advantage of your existing hbase datastores (outside of OpenShift).
First, make a local clone of this repo, and push another clone of the source to a private git repo (hosted inside your firewall). If you include your hbase configuration strings in your modified cartridge source, then make sure to keep that source somewhere private. A privately hosted git repo is ideal here, since it can be accessed by your OpenShift deployment. You could also try modifying the bin/setup script in order to pull configurations strings from another location on your private network.
Modify the files in env so that they include your hbase configuration strings. Then, update bin/setup, and bin/install to match your changes.
Finally, update the Env var documentation in metadata/manifest.yml before adding and committing your changes. Push your resulting modifications to your private git hosting solution (not to a public git repo, like GitHub).
You can test your modified cartridge before adding it to the list of available cartridge services.
Try creating the following application using the rhc command line tool:
rhc app create hbasetodo python-2.7 http://yourgitserver.com/username/my-hbase-cart.git --from-code=https://github.com/ryanj/flask-hbase-todos
You can verify that your configuration strings were successfully published into the system environment by connecting to your application using ssh:
rhc ssh hbasetodo
env | grep HBASE
To add your modified cart to your global OpenShift cartridge list, run the following as an OpenShift administrator:
oo-admin-ctl-cartridge -c import --url https://yourhostedgit.com/username/my-hbase-cart/master/metadata/manifest.yml --activate
This should allow users of your OpenShift deployment to see your external hbase solution as an available configuration option in the system cartridge listing:
rhc cartridge list
It should also allow them to request your hbase application configuration strings as a formal cartridge dependency:
rhc app create hbasetodo python-2.7 hbase-1.0 --from-code=https://github.com/ryanj/flask-hbase-todos
OpenShift includes additional tools for helping operators remove, unpublish, or upgrade their OpenShift cartridges:
oo-admin-ctl-cartridge -c delete --ids hbase-1.0
