  1. Excellent tutorial Sujee!

    With the filter, someone should also use scan.setCaching so speed up the job.

    J-D

  2. Hi Sujee!

    Excellent post indeed, thank you for taking the time! Also please consider linking it into the HBase Wiki, so that other can find it easily (if you have not done so already) – simply register and edit the appropriate page. Much appreciated!

  3. Hey Sujee!! Really nice and helpful post, thanks a lot!!! Though I have a little doubt, I am still learning Hadoop MapReduce and I was wondering why I can’t see the jobs I am executing on my localhost:50030?? I tried to executed from eclipse using the cluster I set up, but I got an error that said

    Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/hbase/HBaseConfiguration

    any idea??? Thanks a lot in advance (=

  4. @Renato,
    the end goal is to be able to run in command line using
    hadoop jar your.jar your.mr.class.name
    so it will run on all cluster machines.
    So if you can do this, that is pretty good :-)

    Not sure why you aren’t able to run it within Eclipse…

  5. Hi,
    I really like this post and has helped me in my project..thanks for the same..
    I am now motivated to make a HBase admin UI interface…
    do ping me if u want to help/get involved..
    thanks once again

  6. Worked perfectly. This tutorial was so helpful. Thank you so much.

    Even the official Apache tutorial in the Hadoop docs use the deprecated APIs, it’s nice to see an up to date tutorial like this one.

  7. Hi, Sujee,

    thank for your tutorial. That is the only one that I found that does what I need: read from the HBase in MR and write back in MR! It works and uses the latest API. What more can a person want?

    Cheers,
    Mark

  8. By the way, your timestamp is not unique, because a few records are created for the same time stamp – or my computer is too fast :) , but you get this:

    \x00\x00\x00\x02\x00 column=details:page, timestamp=1296845269865, value=/a.htm
    \x00\x07i l
    \x00\x00\x00\x02\x00 column=details:page, timestamp=1296845269865, value=/a.htm
    \x00\x07j l

  9. @Mark,
    the row key = random_user_id + incrementing_counter
    so it will be unique.

    timestamps are automatically created by Hbase for versioning cell data. I think it is milli-second accuracy for now. And it is possible you get a few entries with the same TS. But it is okay in most cases (in this case too)

    glad you found the article useful

  10. Dear Sujee,

    Thanks for your great tutorial. One may need to download google-collect-1.0-rc1.jar and jsr305.jar
    I am glad that I found your tutorial too.

  11. Hi Sujee,

    Really nice post, thanks a lot !!! Its really helpful to understand job creation and configuration.But i m getting some exception while executing through eclipse.I m using HBase 0.20.6 APIs. HDFS is in a cluster(multi machines)

    Thanks
    Swagat

    • @swagat,
      I am guessing Eclipse can not find some Hadoop / Hbase jars. Try running the program as a Map-Reduce job (use hadoop command to submit) from command line. That might fix the issue

  12. Can you please guide me how to use HBase in Java programs, I tried running your example but it gives this error

    please let me know where am i going wrong. please suggest a simple way to use HBase. I just want to use HBase for simple java programming

  13. I tried your example, and these are the errors I am getting

    Please let me know where I am going wrong

  14. Thank you Sujee, Really useful.

    It’s working fine. But If I check the table “access_logs”, It is present only in one of the machine(cluster of 3).

    How can I make it as distributed?

  15. Thank you Sujee, Really useful.

    I did this, in a cluster which contains 3 Region Servers

    It’s working fine. But If I check the table “access_logs”, It is present only in one of the Region Server.

    How can I make it as distributed?

  16. Hi Sujee,

    Thanks for great tutorial!!

    I am able to run the mapreduce application using HDFS and HBase both.

    But now I want to use in memory data to be used as input to MapReduce application.

    e.g. – I have few data maps in my memory and want to use those in spite of Hbase table as input.

    Could you please guide me for this??

    Timely reply will be appreciated very much. :)

    Thanks in advance!!

  17. @Amarjeet
    not sure what do you mean by using-memory data as Mapreduce input. are you talking about doing ‘data joins’ ?
    If that is the case, then you might try this:
    - load your data xref data into a memory cache like memcached (this can be done in the driver code of mapreduce)
    - in your mapper, access memcached to xref

  18. Hi Sujee,

    by memory data I dont mean ‘DATA JOINS’.

    I Mean:
    lets take this example in your blog -
    you are reading input from Hbase table – ‘access_logs’ and then process it and put your output in ‘summary’ table.

    What I want is:
    I wish I could take input from some Map or list (present in-memory only or create myself in code).

    I hope you understand now.

  19. I am getting below error. I saw in most of the places in blogs that it is resolved. But no clear details on how it got solved. Any help on this is really appreciated.
    Below is the error on running hbase -mapreduce program

    • @Manu
      you need to Hbase jar files to your HADOOP_CLASSPATH.

      edit $HADOOP_HOME/conf/hadoop-env.sh and edit the line

      # Extra Java CLASSPATH elements. add hbae jars
      export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=/hadoop/hbase/hbase-0.20.3.jar:/hadoop/hbase/hbase-0.20.3-test.jar:/hadoop/hbase/conf:/hadoop/hbase/lib/zookeeper-3.2.2.j

        n one more thing
        when i see hbase at http://localhost:60010/master.jsp i only see one regionserver i.e master
        when i start hbase without stopping it, the regionservers on slaves again start whereas om master it says regionserver is running a process XXXX stop it first….
        do you have any idea why it is so??

  20. hi
    i have created a table in hbase with 12 columns in each row and each column has 8 qualifiers.when i try to read complete row it returns correct value for 1:1 in row 1 but returns null for 1:2
    it reads all the columns correctly from 2 to 10….
    plz help how to solve this problem
    i m using this code for reading….it is inside for loop thar runs from 1 to 10..

    train[0][i] = Double.parseDouble(Bytes.toString (r.getValue (Bytes.toBytes(Integer.toString(i)),Bytes.toBytes(“1″))));

    train[1][i] = Double.parseDouble (Bytes.toString (r.getValue (Bytes.toBytes(Integer.toString(i)), Bytes.toBytes(“2″))));

    train[2][i] = Double.parseDouble (Bytes.toString (r.getValue (Bytes.toBytes(Integer.toString(i)), Bytes.toBytes(“3″))));

    train[3][i] = Double.parseDouble (Bytes.toString (r.getValue (Bytes.toBytes(Integer.toString(i)), Bytes.toBytes(“4″))));

    train[4][i] = Double.parseDouble (Bytes.toString (r.getValue (Bytes.toBytes(Integer.toString(i)), Bytes.toBytes(“5″))));

    train[5][i] = Double.parseDouble (Bytes.toString (r.getValue (Bytes.toBytes(Integer.toString(i)), Bytes.toBytes(“6″))));

    train[6][i] = Double.parseDouble (Bytes.toString (r.getValue (Bytes.toBytes(Integer.toString(i)), Bytes.toBytes(“7″))));

    train[7][i] = Double.parseDouble (Bytes.toString (r.getValue (Bytes.toBytes(Integer.toString(i)), Bytes.toBytes(“8″))));

  21. Hi,

    Can you please how explain you created a composite row key.
    I have been trying to create an HBase Table with a composite row key that has a number and a timestamp. The Put Constructor you have used takes in two byte values thereby converting the timestamp to a byte value as well. While I am able to do this, I’m unable to perform any operation on the timestamp or the number individually as the entire row key is inserted as one entity, Could you please guide further on how a partial key scan may be performed.
    Thanks in advance.

  22. Hey
    Can you help me out a lil more on the map function. I understood the basics of mapreduce but can’t get how to utilize it when you are doing more complex processing.
    How do we actually access the individual columns in a map function? I know that a map returns a row. how do we break it down so that we can compare values of two or more columns which maybe of different column families?

    For example, a User has a visitor and I want to know if that visitor is one of his friends?

    Please help.Just started learning hbase.Having a problem is visualizing how the data appears in a map reduce.

  23. Hi sujee,
    Wonderful doc which helped me a lot.

    I want some suggestions like,
    1) how to display output of reduce functions into JTable.
    2) I have a jar file, after execute that jar file a text box will display. how the data which we entered in text box will get output for that data.

    Please guide me, Its urgent

    Thanks & Regards,
    V.Ramanjaneylu.

  24. Perfect!
    It works. I’ve used your program in the following enviroment:
    Hadoop 1.0.2
    HBase 0.92.1

    I observed a few changes:
    –HBaseConfiguration hbaseConfig = new HBaseConfiguration();
    ++Configuration conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();

    –String columns = “details”; // comma seperated
    –scan.addColumns(columns);
    ++scan.addFamily(Bytes.toBytes(“details”));

    Need to replace — with ++ statements in your program.
    Thanks a lot.

    • Hbase APi changed a bit recently. Thanks for pointing this out. I will update the code.
      regards
      Sujee Maniyam (admin)
