I have a large amount of sequential ordered rows I would like to write to an HBase table. What is the preferred way to do bulk writes of multi-column tables in HBase? Using the get/put interface seems fairly slow even if I bulk writes with table.put(List<Put>).
I have followed the directions on: * http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/PerformanceTuning * http://ryantwopointoh.blogspot.com/2009/01/performance-of-hbase-importing.html Are there any other resources for improving the throughput of my bulk writes? On http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/mapreduce/package-summary.htmlI see there's a way to write HFiles directly, but HFileOutputFormat can only write a single column famly at a time ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1861). Thanks! -Calvin
