Kay Kay commented on HBASE-2051:
--------------------------------

| Thanks, I'll push this to Google Code and publish the details on hbase-dev.

If this is already here - may be  - can you help with the url here.  These 
utils definitely seems interesting, from an dev acceptance/ evangelism 
perspective.  

If this is not already available yet - it might be worth to put up at some DVCS 
, like git or Hg . But that might be just me.

> I think a good collection of useful builders and utilities that handle the 
> 80% case will help HBase gain much more traction.  As an person starting with 
> HBase, there are a lot of concepts to get, Bytes definitely get in the way of 
> seeing the real underlying patterns.  I'm a total believer in understanding 
> the internals to get the best out of a product, but that often comes after 
> experimentation, and these high-level libraries grease the wheels for faster 
> 'grok'ing the concepts.
> Thinking out loud here, but something like this may be useful:
> {code}
> PutBuilder builder = new PutBuilder(hTable);
> // first Row
> builder.withRowKey(1stRowKey).withColumnFamily("foo")
>     .put("columnA", valueA)
>     .put("columnB",valueB);
> // secondRow
> builder.withRowKey(2ndRowKey).withColumnFamily("eek")
>     .put("columnC", valueC)
>     .put("columnD",valueD);
> ..
> builder.putAll();
> {code}
> {quote}
> Perhaps we could use the Builder pattern to achieve simplification (e.g. 
> HBASE-1990) and API support for multicalls (HBASE-1986, HBASE-1845) at the 
> same time. Method variants should accept byte[] or String for keys or values, 
> and lists.
