HBase Client and MapR Database Binary Tables
MapR Data Platform
6.0.x and 6.1 provide Apache HBase-compatible APIs and client interfaces but do not support
HBase as an ecosystem component. MapR Database
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 Database binary tables:
- HBase Client
-
- After installing the HBase Client, you can use HBase Shell commands to manipulate MapR Database binary tables on a remote machine. See Installing HBase on a Client Node and MapR Database HBase Shell (Binary Tables).
- MapR Database 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 Database binary tables through the HBase REST API. See Installing the HBase REST Gateway.
- HBase Thrift Gateway
-
- The HBase Thrift Gateway allows users to manipulate MapR Database binary tables through the HBase Thrift API. See Installing the HBase Thrift Gateway.
