SYNOPSIS
A simple get request:

my $records = $hbase->get(
table => 'table_name',
where => {
key_begins_with => "key_prefix"
},
);A simple put request:
# array of hashes, where each hash is one row
my $rows = [
...
{
row_key => "$row_key",
# cells: array of hashes where eash hash is one cell
row_cells => [
{ column => "$family_name:$colum_name", value => "$value" },
],
},
...
];
my $res = $hbase->put(
table => $table_name,
changes => $rows
);DESCRIPTION
A simple rest client for HBase.
METHODS
get
Scans a table by key prefix or exact key match depending on options passed:
# scan by key prefix:
my $records = $hbase->get(
table => $table_name,
where => {
key_begins_with => "$key_prefix"
},
);
# exact match:
my $record = $hbase->get(
table => $table_name,
where => {
key_equals => "$key"
},
);put
Inserts one or multiple rows. If a key allready exists then depending on if HBase versioning is on, the record will be updated (versioning is off) or new version will be inserted (versioning is on)
# multiple rows
my $rows = [
...
{
row_key => "$row_key",
# cells: array of hashes where eash hash is one cell
row_cells => [
{ column => "$family_name:$colum_name", value => "$value" },
],
},
...
];
my $res = $hbase->put(
table => $table_name,
changes => $rows
);
# single row - basically the same as multiple rows, but
# the rows array has just one elements
my $rows = [
{
row_key => "$row_key",
# cells: array of hashes where eash hash is one cell
row_cells => [
{ column => "$family_name:$colum_name", value => "$value" },
],
},
];
my $res = $hbase->put(
table => $table_name,
changes => $rows
);version
Returns a hashref with server version info
my $version_info = $hbase->version;
print Dumper($version_info);

Returns a list of tables available in HBase
print "tables => " . Dumper($hbase->list);

}
