Hi Pratyush,
First, this list will be closed in the future. The list for these kind of
questions is the Thrift user list at Apache (incubator). You can join this

Is there any documentation to start with, i.e. if i wanted to create a?
JAVA interface to hypertable APIs. Since i have never used this before i
just want to know where to start.
Also if anybody could tell me the basic steps i need to follow in order
to do the job it would be of great help.
There is not much documentation yet. But to get started you will need the
following information:
- the Thrift file containing the definition of the structures, services,
etc. of hypertable
- the details about the transport and protocol used by hypertable:
- transport: which port is used?
- transport: is it a raw TCP socket or over HTTP?
- protocol: is the binary, JSON or maybe a custom serialization protocol
used?
Once you have this information you can use the Thrift compiler to generate
Java classes for you. Run the compiler without arguments to get help:
<path to compiler>/thrift -gen java:beans
After generating the Java classes you can add them to your project. Use
the classes in the Thrift Java libary to setup a connection over which the
generated classes will communicate. For an example see the sources of the
test classes in 'test/java'. You can check out the source code from:
