(In short, I am trying to make hbase_handler to work with hive-0.6 and hbase-0.90.1.)
I am trying to integrate Hbase and Hive. There is a pretty good documentation at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/HBaseIntegration . But looks like they have become old. The hbase_handler was written for hbase-0.20* , with the latest version of hbase-0.9* the integration does not work. I tried the handler to work with hbase_0.20, but this version of hbase does not work. It gives "java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file" error. I tried following the procedure of copying the newer hbase jar to the hive and recompiling it. There were couple of errors with the deprecated classes. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.RowResult and org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.BatchUpdate. The description at these deprecated classes were "* @deprecated As of hbase 0.20.0, replaced by new Get/Put/Delete/Result-based API." If any one could let me know how to use these methods, it would be really helpful! Viv
