[hbase] RESTful interface
-------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2068
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2068
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: contrib/hbase
Reporter: stack
Priority: Minor
A RESTful interface would be one means of making hbase accessible to clients
that are not java. It might look something like the below:
+ An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/ outputs the master's attributes: online
meta regions, list of tables, etc.: i.e. what you see now when you go to
http://MASTER:PORT/master.jsp.
+ An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME: 200 if tables exists and
HTableDescription (mimetype: text/plain or text/xml) or 401 if no such table.
HTTP DELETE would drop the table. HTTP PUT would add one.
+ An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW: 200 if row exists and 401 if
not.
+ An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNFAMILY:
HColumnDescriptor (mimetype: text/plain or text/xml) or 401 if no such table.
+ An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNNAME/: 200 and latest
version (mimetype: binary/octet-stream) or 401 if no such cell. HTTP DELETE
would delete the cell. HTTP PUT would add a new version.
+ An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNNAME/TIMESTAMP: 200
(mimetype: binary/octet-stream) or 401 if no such cell. HTTP DELETE would
remove. HTTP PUT would put this record.
+ Browser originally goes against master but master then redirects to the
hosting region server to serve, update, delete, etc. the addressed cell
