# Use HBase with AEL and HDP

To use HBase with AEL and HDP, you must add the HBase JAR files to PDI.

Perform the following steps to add the HBase JAR files:

1. Copy the following files for your version of HDP from the `/usr/hdp/current/hbase/lib/` directory of your cluster.
   * `hbase-client-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-common-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-hadoop-compat-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-mapreduce-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-protocol-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-protocol-shaded-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-server-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-shaded-miscellaneous-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-shaded-netty-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
   * `hbase-shaded-protobuf-*<x.x.x>*.jar`
2. Follow the instructions for setting up vendor-specified JARs in the **Pentaho Data Integration** document to install the files.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-configuration/tasks-to-be-performed-by-an-it-administrator/set-up-the-adaptive-execution-layer-ael/vendor-supplied-clients/hortonworks/use-hbase-with-ael-and-hdp-ael-setup-specific-to-hdp.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
