Apache HBase starts where Hadoop HDFS stops, i.e. HBase provides random, realtime read/write access to the Bigdata. If you have flat files such as CSV and TSV, you can use Apache HBase bulk load CSV and TSV features to get the data into HBase tables. In this post, I will tell you how to import data to HBase from CSV and TSV files. We will not dig into any transformation. We will check importing data into already existing HBase table. HBase Importtsv utility Importtsv is a utility that will load…

You can compare the namespace to the RDBMS shema’s. You can create the namespace in the HBase table and then create multiple tables in that namespace. In this article, we will check out Hbase namespace commands with an examples. Hbase Namespace Commands There are three commonly used namespace commands: create_namespace, alter_namespace, describe_namespace, drop_namespace, list_namespace, list_namespace_tables HBase create_namesace command This command is used to create a namespace in the HBase. Below are the examples to create namespace: hbase(main):019:0> create 'test:test1','cf' 0 row(s) in 2.3760 seconds => Hbase::Table - test:test1 Create Table inside…

The set of HBase basic operations are referred to as CRUD operations. i.e. create, read, update, delete/drop operations. The HBase drop command is used to drop or delete table from HBase. In this article, we will check drop HBase tables using shell commands and some commonly used examples. Drop HBase Tables using shell Commands In order to drop or delete the table present in HBase, first we have to disable it using ‘disable <table name>’ command. There are two commands available to drop or delete HBase tables: ‘drop’ and ‘drop_all’.…
