Bryan Duxbury commented on HADOOP-2068:
---------------------------------------
I haven't seen the output of hql.jsp, but I'll try and track it down. You're
right, you can't stick pure binary data in XML, but you can use Base64 encoded
binary data. It's a little bigger, but it cuts down on the number of requests
you would have to make, which I think will be the crucial bottleneck. Of
course, single column requests for pure binary data should still be available.
I agree with your idea of the REST requests redirecting around between the
master and the region servers. That keeps the underlying architecture correct,
just with a different face on it.
> [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
