Migrating Data to HBase Using BulkLoad

HBase data is stored in HDFS. To import data, load it from HDFS into an HBase table. Apache HBase provides the Import and ImportTsv tools for batch importing data.

  • Import: imports HBase data that has been exported to HDFS using the org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.Import method.
  • ImportTsv: loads data in TSV format to HBase through org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.ImportTsv.
