Set up the application properties file

You must set up the application.properties file to permit Spark jobs on AEL to access the hbase-site.xml file from the HDFS cluster. This setup enables Spark jobs to connect to HBase from the Spark Executors. You must also specify the location of the vendor-specific JARs described below so they can be loaded on the classpath.

Perform the following steps to set up the application.properties file:

1. Navigate to the design-tools/data-integration/adaptive-execution/config folder and open the application.properties file with any text editor.

2. Set the value of thehbaseConfDir property to the location of your hbase-site.xml file.

3. Set the value of the extraLib property to the location of the vendor-specific JARs.

   The default value is ./extra.

4. Save and close the file.
