Hi, I am using Cloudera Express free edition license in our production environment. I want to know that can we use Hbase replication feature in Cloudera Express free edition license? Why am I confused? Because I read the cloudera document https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-6-x/topics/cm_bdr_replication_intro.html Under section "Cloudera License Requirements for Replication", it mentioned that The source cluster must have a Cloudera Enterprise license. The destination cluster can have a Cloudera Express, Cloudera Standard, or Cloudera Manager Free Edition license. please advice me on this.

HBase replication is an integral part of HBase itself (vs. provided by CM BDR as a feature), and can be used directly by following http://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/latest/topics/cdh_bdr_hbase_replication.html. So yes, you can use it on your Cloudera Express installation.

HDFS and Hive replication are BDR provided features instead, and cannot be configured on a source running Cloudera Express.

Does this clarification help?
