Hey Mafish:
There is no such provision in hbase at the moment. Tables are
distributed across the hbase cluster as it sees fit (We'd be interested
in hearing more about why you need this facility).
Regards helping us out w/ a HOWTO, that'd be great. Here's what we have
at the moment: http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/docs/current/. Also, hbase
recently got its own mailing lists. You'll get a more prompt response if
you move your questions/comments there. See
http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/mailing_lists.html.
Thanks,
St.Ack

Hi, all:
While designing an application based on hbase, I meet a problem about how
to distribute
tables among several nodes under the control of developer instead of
deciding by
system. I need to make clear of the APIs that be compatible for my
requirements. It will be really
appreciated if there are some examples.
BTW: While browsing hbase documentations, I found that there are too few
documents about the
usage of hbase and it not so easy for a new comming to get started with
hbase. If need, I can give
a hand to write a simple HOWTO to intoduce the basic operations of hbase
tables, for the convenience
of new coming.
Best regards.
Mafish.
