HBase new user

[Jae Joo <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am new for HBase and have a couple of questions.
1. I have installed HBase and load a couple of millions of data. The file
system for HBase is in /tmp diectory.
   How can I change the directory for data files?
2. Is there any Perl based API available?
3. Is there any tutorial available?
4. Does anyone know that for GUI based API is available?


Thanks,

Jae Joo

there is also a web interface here
http://MASTER_HOSTNAME:60010/

That will give you some stats but there is no GUI just a API

Hey,

Here are some answers:
1. The directory setting is:
    <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
    <value>file:///tmp/hbase-${user.name}/hbase</value>
    <description>The directory shared by region servers.
    Should be fully-qualified to include the filesystem to use.
    E.g: hdfs://NAMENODE_SERVER:PORT/HBASE_ROOTDIR
    </description>

adjust that in your hbase-site.xml as you wish.  I have mine set to:
hdfs://master:9000/hbase

It is conceivable to run HBase on a shared-directory system like NFS, but I
haven't heard of anyone doing that.

2.  There is a thrift API, which you can hook up any thrift-client to. This
includes perl.

3.  The docs online, try irc, there are a number of things there.

4.  What kind of GUI would you like?  You could write your own web one?
There is the bin/hbase shell which gives admin access to the system - do you
need more than that?
