How to add minimize and maximize buttons in Gnome 3

-
In a recent post I had shown the steps to add the Power off option in the menu, which is absent by default, in Gnome 3. In this post we'll see another feature which most of us would love to have in our Gnome environment, especially guys coming from PC world. The minimize and maximize buttons.

In order to do that follow the specified below :

1. Open run box by pressing ALT+F2. Type dconf-editor in it and hit enter(Alternatively you can open   your terminal and type there).
   * If you don't have dconf install on your machine, you can install it using this command -
      apache@hadoop:~$ sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

2. This will open the dconf-editor and you will see something like this on your screen -

Now, go to org->gnome->shell->overrides and click there. It will open the editor in the right pane. Here click on the value against button-layout. By default it'll show only close there.


Add minimize and maximize option here and you are done.

Let me know if you face any issue. Thank you.

Fun with HBase shell

HBase shell is great, specially while getting yourself familiar with HBase. It provides lots of useful shell commands using which you can perform trivial tasks like creating tables, putting some test data into it, scanning the whole table, fetching data from a specific row etc etc. Executing  help  on HBase shell will give you the list of all the HBase shell commands. If you need help on a specific command, type help "command" . For example, help "get" will give you a detailed explanation of the get command. But this post is not about the above said stuff. We will try to do something fun here. Something which is available, but less known. So, get ready, start your HBase daemons, open HBase shell and get your hands dirty. For those of us who are unaware, HBase shell is based on  JRuby , the Java Virtual Machine-based implementation of Ruby. More specifically, it uses the  Interactive Ruby Shell (IRB) , which is used to enter Ruby commands and get an immedia

BETWEEN OPERATOR IN HIVE

-
Hive is a wonderful tool for those who like to perform batch operations to process their large amounts of data residing on a Hadoop cluster and who are comparatively new to the NOSQL world. Not only it provides us warehousing capabilities on top of a Hadoop cluster, but also a superb SQL like interface which makes it very easy to use and makes our task execution more familiar. But, one thing which newbies like me always wanted to have is the support of BETWEEN operator in Hive. Since the release of version 0.9.0  earlier  this year, Hive provides us some new and very useful features. BETWEEN operator is one among those.

HOW TO SETUP AND CONFIGURE 'ssh' ON LINUX (UBUNTU)

SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol  secure data communication, remote shell services or command execution and other secure network services between two networked computers that it connects via a secure channel  over an insecure network. The ssh server runs on a machine (server) and ssh client runs on another machine (client). ssh has 2 main components : 1- ssh : T he command we use to connect to remote machines - the client.  2-  sshd : T he daemon that is running on the  server  and allows clients to connect to the server. ssh is pre-enabled on Linux, but in order to start sshd daemon , we need to install ssh first. Use this command to do that : $ sudo apt-get install ssh This will install ssh on your machine. In order to check if ssh is setup properly do this : $ which ssh It will throw this line on your terminal /usr/bin/ssh $ which sshd It will throw this line on your terminal /usr/bin/sshd SSH uses  public-key cryptography  to  authenticate  the remote co
