streaming insert?

[leith <el...@diffbot.com>]

two quick questions,

1) is the documentation for 0.2.0 branch online? (i'm just using eclipse to look 
things up for now...)

2) what's the recommended method for streaming input into a row. (batchoperation 
ends with an 'out of memory exception' so i was hoping to find a way to stream 
in a very large file into our rows


thanks for the advice,

/leith

Not until we make a 0.2.0 release.  Meantime, just do a 'ant javadoc' to 
generate it in your checkout.

There is no means of streaming in data.  What kinda sizes you talking?  
Try upping the heaps in your servers (edit HBASE_HEAPSIZE in 
$HBASE_HOME/conf/hbase-env.sh).  If your BLOBs are massive, storing 
direct into HDFS may be a better alternative.
