Class HBaseIO

java.lang.Object

org.apache.beam.sdk.io.hbase.HBaseIO

@Experimental(value=SOURCE_SINK)
public class HBaseIO
extends java.lang.Object

A bounded source and sink for HBase.

For more information, see the online documentation at HBase.

Reading from HBase

The HBase source returns a set of rows from a single table, returning a PCollection<Result>.

To configure a HBase source, you must supply a table id and a Configuration to identify the HBase instance. By default, HBaseIO.Read will read all rows in the table. The row range to be read can optionally be restricted using with a Scan object or using the HBaseIO.Read.withKeyRange(org.apache.beam.sdk.io.range.ByteKeyRange), and a Filter using HBaseIO.Read.withFilter(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.Filter), for example:

 // Scan the entire table.
 p.apply("read",
     HBaseIO.read()
         .withConfiguration(configuration)
         .withTableId("table"));

 // Filter data using a HBaseIO Scan
 Scan scan = ...
 p.apply("read",
     HBaseIO.read()
         .withConfiguration(configuration)
         .withTableId("table"))
         .withScan(scan));

 // Scan a prefix of the table.
 ByteKeyRange keyRange = ...;
 p.apply("read",
     HBaseIO.read()
         .withConfiguration(configuration)
         .withTableId("table")
         .withKeyRange(keyRange));

 // Scan a subset of rows that match the specified row filter.
 p.apply("filtered read",
     HBaseIO.read()
         .withConfiguration(configuration)
         .withTableId("table")
         .withFilter(filter));
 

Writing to HBase

The HBase sink executes a set of row mutations on a single table. It takes as input a PCollection<Mutation>, where each Mutation represents an idempotent transformation on a row.

To configure a HBase sink, you must supply a table id and a Configuration to identify the HBase instance, for example:

 Configuration configuration = ...;
 PCollection<Mutation> data = ...;

 data.apply("write",
     HBaseIO.write()
         .withConfiguration(configuration)
         .withTableId("table"));
 

Experimental

The design of the API for HBaseIO is currently related to the BigtableIO one, it can evolve or be different in some aspects, but the idea is that users can easily migrate from one to the other .

Method Detail

read

@Experimental
public static HBaseIO.Read read()

Creates an uninitialized HBaseIO.Read. Before use, the Read must be initialized with a HBaseIO.Read.withConfiguration(Configuration) that specifies the HBase instance, and a tableId that specifies which table to read. A Filter may also optionally be specified using HBaseIO.Read.withFilter(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.Filter).

write

public static HBaseIO.Write write()

Creates an uninitialized HBaseIO.Write. Before use, the Write must be initialized with a HBaseIO.Write.withConfiguration(Configuration) that specifies the destination HBase instance, and a tableId that specifies which table to write.
