Distributedly Scanning HBase Tables

Scenario

You can use HBaseContext to perform operations on HBase in Spark applications and use HBase RDDs to scan HBase tables based on specific rules.

Data Planning

Use HBase tables created in Performing Operation on Data in Avro Format

Development Guideline

1. Set the scanning rule, for example: setCaching.
2. Use specific rules to scan the HBase table.

Packaging the Project

• Use the Maven tool provided by IDEA to pack the project and generate a JAR file. For details, see Writing and Running the Spark Program in the Linux Environment.
• Upload the JAR package to any directory (for example, $SPARK_HOME) on the server where the Spark client is located.

To run the Spark on HBase sample project, set spark.yarn.security.credentials.hbase.enabled (false by default) in the spark-defaults.conf file on the Spark client to true. Changing the spark.yarn.security.credentials.hbase.enabled value does not affect existing services. (To uninstall the HBase service, you need to change the value of this parameter back to false.) Set the value of the configuration item spark.inputFormat.cache.enabled to false.

Submitting Commands

Assume that the JAR package name is spark-hbaseContext-test-1.0.jar that is stored in the $SPARK_HOME directory on the client. The following commands are executed in the $SPARK_HOME directory, and Java is displayed before the class name of the Java interface. For details, see the sample code.

• yarn-client mode:

  Java/Scala version (The class name must be the same as the actual code. The following is only an example.)

  bin/spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode client --class com.huawei.bigdata.spark.examples.hbasecontext.JavaHBaseDistributedScanExample SparkOnHbaseJavaExample-1.0.jar ExampleAvrotable

  Python version. (The file name must be the same as the actual one. The following is only an example.)

  bin/spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode client --jars SparkOnHbaseJavaExample-1.0.jar HBaseDistributedScanExample.py ExampleAvrotable

• yarn-cluster mode:

  Java/Scala version (The class name must be the same as the actual code. The following is only an example.)

  bin/spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster --class com.huawei.bigdata.spark.examples.hbasecontext.JavaHBaseDistributedScanExample SparkOnHbaseJavaExample-1.0.jar ExampleAvrotable

  Python version. (The file name must be the same as the actual one. The following is only an example.)

  bin/spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster --jars SparkOnHbaseJavaExample-1.0.jar HBaseDistributedScanExample.py ExampleAvrotable

Java Sample Code

The following code snippet is only for demonstration. For details about the code, see the JavaHBaseDistributedScanExample file in SparkOnHbaseJavaExample.

 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
    if (args.length < 1) {
      System.out.println("JavaHBaseDistributedScan {tableName}");
      return;
    }
    String tableName = args[0];
    SparkConf sparkConf = new SparkConf().setAppName("JavaHBaseDistributedScan " + tableName);
    JavaSparkContext jsc = new JavaSparkContext(sparkConf);
    try {
      Configuration conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
      JavaHBaseContext hbaseContext = new JavaHBaseContext(jsc, conf);
      Scan scan = new Scan();
      scan.setCaching(100);
      JavaRDD<Tuple2<ImmutableBytesWritable, Result>> javaRdd =
              hbaseContext.hbaseRDD(TableName.valueOf(tableName), scan);
      List<String> results = javaRdd.map(new ScanConvertFunction()).collect();
      System.out.println("Result Size: " + results.size());
    } finally {
      jsc.stop();
    }
  }

The following code snippet is only for demonstration. For details about the code, see the HBaseDistributedScanExample file in SparkOnHbaseScalaExample.

  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    if (args.length < 1) {
      println("HBaseDistributedScanExample {tableName} missing an argument")
      return
    }
    val tableName = args(0)
    val sparkConf = new SparkConf().setAppName("HBaseDistributedScanExample " + tableName )
    val sc = new SparkContext(sparkConf)
    try {
      val conf = HBaseConfiguration.create()
      val hbaseContext = new HBaseContext(sc, conf)
      val scan = new Scan()
      scan.setCaching(100)
      val getRdd = hbaseContext.hbaseRDD(TableName.valueOf(tableName), scan)
      getRdd.foreach(v => println(Bytes.toString(v._1.get())))
      println("Length: " + getRdd.map(r => r._1.copyBytes()).collect().length);
    } finally {
      sc.stop()
    }
  }
