Accessing HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Binary Tables Using HBase APIs
This section describes how to access HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables via HBase APIs, HBase Shell, and MapReduce applications.
MapR Core extends the HBase component to handle access to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables do not support low-level HBase API calls that are used to manipulate the state of an Apache HBase cluster.
For a full list of supported HBase Java APIs, see Creating Java Apps - Binary Tables.
For a full list of supported commands in the HBase shell, see HBase Shell for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database.
To enable the HBase API and hbase shell
access, install the
mapr-hbase
package on every node in the cluster. The HBase component of
the MapR distribution for Hadoop is typically installed
under/opt/mapr/hbase
. Install the mapr-hbase
package
that provides the version that corresponds with the current MEP and MapR version you are
running.
For MapR installation procedures, see Installing Core and Ecosystem Components.
