= hbaserb -- HBase Thrift interface for Ruby

A Ruby thrift lib for interfacing with Hadoop's HBase 0.92.0

To install: gem install hbaserb

== Basic Usage require 'rubygems' require 'hbaserb'

client = HBaseRb::Client.new 'localhost'

create table with two column families

table = client.create_table "test_table", "colfamone", "colfamtwo"

insert some data

table.mutate_row 'myrow', {'colfamone:myvalue' => 'awesome value'}

delete some data

table.mutate_row 'myrow', {'colfamone:myvalue' => nil}

get it

puts t.get('myrow', 'colfamone:myvalue').first.value

get timestamp

puts t.get('myrow', 'colfamone:myvalue').first.timestamp

convert binary value to 64 bit integer

t.atomic_increment('myrow', 'colfamtwo:counter') puts t.get('myrow', 'colfamtwo:counter').first.to_i64

make a scanner

s = t.create_scanner('my-start-row', 'my-end-row', 'colfamnone') { |row| puts "Columns: #{row.columns.keys}" }
