Sample Code of Show Hbase Write&Read "

Abstract

The demo program will insert values to " Column Family: Column Identify" and then print these.

• pre-do : create a hbase table "test_table" with (CF:CI) which (" column family ", " column ID ")
  

1 $ bin/hbase shell
2 > create table test_table("CF");
ok ! we can test it
3 > insert into test_table("CF:CI") values=("Hellow World") where row = "1";
4 > select * from test_table;

08/06/03 16:16:36 INFO hbase.HTable: Creating scanner over test_table starting at key

+---------+-----------+-----------+
1 row(s) in set. (0.24 sec)

on the structure , Row means Row ID which is a key to describe a column;
Column means the database structure in test_table,
Column Family , "CF", should be defined while creating table.
Column Id , "CI" , can be added dynamically.
Cell is the value of CF:CI

Output

That's the structure; then the demo program will show you in console as below :

Illustration of adding data...
Writing row = 0, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow0
Writing row = 1, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow1
Writing row = 2, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow2
Writing row = 3, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow3
Writing row = 4, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow4
Writing row = 5, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow5
Writing row = 6, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow6
Writing row = 7, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow7
Writing row = 8, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow8
Writing row = 9, col 'CF:CI' = Hellow9

Illustration of querying...
row = 1, 'CF : CI ' = Hellow1
