    The following shows a typical HBase configuration:

    { 
   "type": "hbase", 
   "config": { 
     "hbase.zookeeper.quorum": "10.10.100.62,10.10.10.52,10.10.10.53", 
     "hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort": "2181" 
  }, 
  "size.calculator.enabled": false, 
  "enabled": true 
}

    The following shows a secure cluster configuration:

    { 
     "type": "hbase", 
     "config": { 
       "hbase.zookeeper.quorum": "node1.cluster.com", 
       "hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort": "5181", 
       "hbase.security.authentication": "MAPRSASL" 
}, 
"size.calculator.enabled": false, 
"enabled": true
