- Background:
The HBase Indexer provides the ability to stream events from HBase to Solr for near real time searching. The HBase indexer is included with HDPSearch as an additional service. The indexer works by acting as an HBase replication sink. As updates are written to HBase, the events are asynchronously replicated to the HBase Indexer processes, which in turn creates Solr documents and pushes them to Solr.
