6.2 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
- Application Development Process
  Before you start developing applications on the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric platform, consider how you will get the data into the platform, the storage format of the data, the type of processing or modeling that is required, and how the data will be accessed.
- File Store and Apps
  The following sections provide information about accessing the File Store with C and Java applications.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database and Apps
  This section contains information about developing client applications for JSON and key-value tables.
  - Installing the mapr-client Package
    The mapr-client package must be installed on each node where you will be building and running your applications. This package installs all of the MapR Libraries needed for application development regardless of programming language or type of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table (binary or JSON).
  - Passing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Table Path
    This topic describes the methods for passing a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table name. Binary table names can be passed by either specifying the table path in the API or by setting the table path in the core-site.xml file. JSON table names are passed by specifying the table path in the API.
  - Tuning Parameters for Client Apps
    Though tuning client applications is generally not necessary, MapR does offer tuning parameters to change the behavior of client-side caching.
  - Developing Applications for Binary Tables
    HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database provides a C API, libMapRClient and partially supports the Apache HBase 1.1 Java APIs for performing operation on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.
