HBase In Action

Usage

Code is managed by maven. Be sure to install maven on your platform before running these commands. Also be aware that HBase is not yet supported on the OpenJDK platform, the default JVM installed on Ubuntu. You'll want to install the Oracle (Sun) Java 6 runtime and make sure it's configured on your $PATH before you continue. Again, on Ubuntu, you may find the oab-java6 utility to be of use.

To build a self-contained jar:

$ mvn assembly:assembly

TwitBase applications can be run using:

$ java -cp target/HBaseIA-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar <app> [options...]

Utilities for interacting with TwitBase include:

• HBaseIA.TwitBase.cli.InitTables :: create TwitBase tables
• HBaseIA.TwitBase.cli.TwitsTool :: tool for managing Twits
• HBaseIA.TwitBase.cli.UsersTool :: tool for managing Users

The following MapReduce jobs can be launched the same way:

• HBaseIA.TwitBase.mapreduce.TimeSpent :: run TimeSpent log processing MR job
• HBaseIA.TwitBase.mapreduce.CountShakespeare :: run Shakespearean counter MR job
• HBaseIA.TwitBase.mapreduce.HamletTagger :: run hamlet-tagging MR job
