HBase Client and MapR-DB Binary Tables
MapR 6.0.x and MapR 6.1 provide Apache HBase-compatible APIs and client interfaces but do
not support HBase as an ecosystem component. MapR-DB binary
tables provide native storage for table data and include high performance and availability,
versatile table operations, and streamlined cluster administration. The following APIs and
tools are available for MapR-DB binary tables:
- HBase Client
-
- After installing the HBase Client, you can use HBase Shell commands to manipulate MapR-DB binary tables on a remote machine. See Installing HBase on a Client Node and MapR-DB HBase Shell (Binary Tables).
- MapR-DB supports binary tables through the libMapRClient (a library of C APIs) and Apache HBase Java APIs. See Developing Applications for Binary Tables.
- HBase REST Gateway
-
- The HBase REST Gateway allows users to manipulate MapR-DB binary tables through the HBase REST API. See Using the HBase REST Gateway and Installing the HBase REST Gateway.
- HBase Thrift 1 Gateway
-
- The HBase Thrift Gateway allows users to manipulate MapR-DB binary tables through the HBase Thrift API. See Using the HBase Thrift Gateway and Installing HBase Thrift Gateway.
