HBase Example

Let's see a HBase example to import data of a file in HBase table.

Use Case

We have to import data present in the file into an HBase table by creating it through Java API.

Data_file.txt contains the below data

1,India,Bihar,Champaran,2009,April,P1,1,5
2,India, Bihar,Patna,2009,May,P1,2,10
3,India, Bihar,Bhagalpur,2010,June,P2,3,15
4,United States,California,Fresno,2009,April,P2,2,5
5,United States,California,Long Beach,2010,July,P2,4,10
6,United States,California,San Francisco,2011,August,P1,6,20

The Java code is shown below

This data has to be inputted into a new HBase table to be created through JAVA API. Following column families have to be created

"sample,region,time.product,sale,profit".

Column family region has three column qualifiers: country, state, city

Column family Time has two column qualifiers: year, month

Jar Files

Make sure that the following jars are present while writing the code as they are required by the HBase.

commons-loging-1.0.4
