Store List of data items in Hbase.

[Ram <ru...@gmail.com>]

Im trying to store a list,collection of data objects in Hbase. For example ,a 
User table where a the userId is the Rowkey and column family Contacts with 
column Contacts:EmailIds where EmailIds is a list of emails as
{abcd@example.com,bpqrs@gmail.com....etc}
How do we model this in Hbase ? How do we do this in Java?/Python?Ive tried 
pickling and unpickling data in Python but this is one solution which I do not 
want to use due to performance issues.

Hello,

i see two solutions :

1) seriliaze your email list and put in in column Contacts:EmailIds and 
desiarilize when you want to read it.

2) or store each email in a qualifier of the column family contact.
ex :
Contacts:Email1
Contacts:Email2
Contacts:Email3
....

for me the best solution is the one because the desiarilization of this 
kind of object is very fast, the second one i don't know because i'm a 
beginner in hbase but i know that have to much qulifier is not good 
(hbase book smackdown).
