Loading Index Data in Batches

Scenarios

HBase provides the ImportTsv&LoadIncremental tool to load user data in batches. HBase also provides the HIndexImportTsv tool to load both the user data and index data in batches. HIndexImportTsv inherits all functions of the HBase batch data loading tool ImportTsv. If a table is not created before the HIndexImportTsv tool is executed, an index will be created when the table is created, and index data is generated when user data is generated.

Procedure

  1. Run the following commands to import data to HDFS:

    hdfs dfs -mkdir <inputdir>

    hdfs dfs -put <local_data_file> <inputdir>

    For example, define the data file data.txt as follows:

    12005000201,Zhang San,Male,19,City a, Province a
    12005000202,Li Wanting,Female,23,City b, Province b
    12005000203,Wang Ming,Male,26,City c, Province c
    12005000204,Li Gang,Male,18,City d, Province d
    12005000205,Zhao Enru,Female,21,City e, Province e
    12005000206,Chen Long,Male,32,City f, Province f
    12005000207,Zhou Wei,Female,29,City g, Province g
    12005000208,Yang Yiwen,Female,30,City h, Province h
    12005000209,Xu Bing,Male,26,City i, Province i
    12005000210,Xiao Kai,Male,25,City j, Province j

    Run the following commands:

    hdfs dfs -mkdir /datadirImport

    hdfs dfs -put data.txt /datadirImport

  2. Go to HBase shell and run the following command to create the bulkTable table:

    create 'bulkTable', {NAME => 'info',COMPRESSION => 'SNAPPY', DATA_BLOCK_ENCODING => 'FAST_DIFF'},{NAME=>'address'}

    After the execution is complete, exit the HBase shell.

  3. Run the following commands to generate an HFile file (StoreFiles):

    hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.hindex.mapreduce.HIndexImportTsv -Dimporttsv.separator=<separator>

    -Dimporttsv.bulk.output=</path/for/output> -Dindexspecs.to.add=<indexspecs> -Dimporttsv.columns=<columns> tableName <inputdir>

    • -Dimport.separator: indicates a separator, for example, -Dimport.separator=','.
    • -Dimport.bulk.output=</path/for/output>: indicates the output path of the execution result. You need to specify a path that does not exist.
    • <columns>: Indicates the mapping of the imported data in a table, for example, -Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY,info:name,info:gender,info:age,address:city,address:province.
    • <tablename>: Indicates the name of a table to be operated.
    • <inputdir>: Indicates the directory where data is loaded in batches.
    • -Dindexspecs.to.add=<indexspecs>: Indicates the mapping between an index name and a column, for example, -Dindexspecs.to.add='index_bulk=>info:[age->String]'. The index composition can be represented as follows:

      indexNameN=>familyN :[columnQualifierN-> columnQualifierDataType], [columnQualifierM-> columnQualifierDataType];familyM: [columnQualifierO-> columnQualifierDataType]# indexNameN=> familyM: [columnQualifierO-> columnQualifierDataType]

      Column qualifiers are separated by commas (,).

      Example: "index1 => f1:[c1-> String],[c2-> String]"

      Column families are separated by semicolons (;).

      Example: "index1 => f1:[c1-> String],[c2-> String]; f2:[c3-> Long]"

      Multiple indexes are separated by pound keys (#).

      Example: "index1 => f1:[c1-> String],[c2-> String]; f2:[c3-> Long]#index2 => f2:[c3-> Long]"

      The following data types are supported by columns.

      Available data types are as follows: STRING, INTEGER, FLOAT, LONG, DOUBLE, SHORT, BYTE, CHAR

      Data types can also be transferred in lowercase.

    For example, run the following command:

    hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.hindex.mapreduce.HIndexImportTsv -Dimporttsv.separator=',' -Dimporttsv.bulk.output=/dataOutput -Dindexspecs.to.add='index_bulk=>info:[age->String]' -Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY,info:name,info:gender,info:age,address:city,address:province bulkTable /datadirImport/data.txt

    Command output:

    [root@shap000000406 opt]# hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.hindex.mapreduce.HIndexImportTsv -Dimporttsv.separator=',' -Dimporttsv.bulk.output=/dataOutput -Dindexspecs.to.add='index_bulk=>info:[age->String]' -Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY,info:name,info:gender,info:age,address:city,address:province bulkTable /datadirImport/data.txt

  4. Run the following command to import the generated HFile to HBase:

    hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.LoadIncrementalHFiles </path/for/output> <tablename>

    For example, run the following command:

    hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.LoadIncrementalHFiles /dataOutput bulkTable

    Command output:

    [root@shap000000406 opt]# hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.LoadIncrementalHFiles /dataOutput bulkTable
