Re: Hbase Lookup

Yes. Ayan, you approach will work. Or alternatively, use Spark, and write a Scala/Java function which implements similar logic in your Pig UDF. Both approaches look similar. Personally, I would go with Spark solution, it will be slightly faster, and easier if you already have Spark cluster

Re: Hbase Lookup

But I don't see how it works here with phoenix or hbase coprocessor. Remember we are joining 2 big data sets here, one is the big file in HDFS, and records in HBASE. The driving force comes from Hadoop cluster. On Thu, Sep 3, 2015 at 11:37 AM, Jörn Franke wrote: > If

Re: Hbase Lookup

If you use pig or spark you increase the complexity from an operations management perspective significantly. Spark should be seen from a platform perspective if it make sense. If you can do it directly with hbase/phoenix or only hbase coprocessor then this should be preferred. Otherwise you pay

Re: Hbase Lookup

Hi Thanks for your comments. My driving point is instead of loading Hbase data entirely I want to process record by record lookup and that is best done in UDF or map function. I also would loved to do it in Spark but no production cluster yet here :( @Franke: I do not have enough competency on

Re: Hbase Lookup

You may check if it makes sense to write a coprocessor doing an upsert for you, if it does not exist already. Maybe phoenix for Hbase supports this already. Another alternative, if the records do not have an unique Id, is to put them into a text index engine, such as Solr or Elasticsearch, which

Re: Hbase Lookup

Thanks for your info. I am planning to implement a pig udf to do record look ups. Kindly let me know if this is a good idea. Best Ayan On Thu, Sep 3, 2015 at 2:55 PM, Jörn Franke wrote: > > You may check if it makes sense to write a coprocessor doing an upsert for > you,

Hbase Lookup

Hello group I am trying to use pig or spark in order to achieve following: 1. Write a batch process which will read from a file 2. Lookup hbase to see if the record exists. If so then need to compare incoming values with hbase and update fields which do not match. Else create a new record. My
