Provide metrics for HBase tables and regions

[pjeli]

Assuming a valid hbase-site.xml exists, we can use it to find the HBase parent directory in HDFS and then perform directory analysis on it.

Some early possibilities if we are smart about the analysis:

• Determine number of Tables / Regions serviced in HDFS.
• Sorting tables by diskspace and file count.

Is this still open for contrib. I would like to work on this. Also, I would need some more background to work on.

Hi @sahaparamjit - sorry for the very late reply here. Yes this is still open for contribution. 😄
All that is needed is to:

1. Parse a hbase-site.xml file and determine the HDFS storage location
2. Code up some analysis logic using SuggestionsEngine in NNA
3. Display the metrics
