I believe that Brian Loss committed code in 1.5 for a column visibility correction iterator or something that you could use to do this. You could use that and compact the table after the import.

My naive answer is just by default ignore visibilities (meaning make everything public or make everything the same visibility). It would be interesting however to be able to insert a chunk of code that inferred the visibility from the record itself. That is, you'd have a function you can pass in that returns a ColumnVisibility and takes in a value/rowkey/etc. On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 1:31 PM, Kurt Christensen < [email protected] > wrote: I don't have a response to your question, but it seems to me that the big capability difference is visibility field. When doing bulk translations like this, do you just fill visibility with some default value? -- Kurt On 7/9/13 1:26 PM, Donald Miner wrote: <blockquote> Has anyone developed tools to migrate data from an existing HBase implementation to Accumulo? My team has done it "manually" in the past but it seems like it would be reasonable to write a process that handled the steps in a more automated fashion. Here are a few sample designs I've kicked around: HBase -> mapreduce -> mappers bulk write to accumulo -> Accumulo or HBase -> mapreduce -> tfiles via AccumuloFileOutputFormat -> Accumulo bulk load -> Accumulo or HBase -> bulk export -> map-only mapreduce to translate hfiles into tfiles (how hard would this be??) -> Accumulo bulk load -> Accumulo I guess this could be extended to go the other way around (and also include Cassandra perhaps). Maybe we'll start working on this soon. I just wanted to kick the idea out there to see if it's been done before or if anyone has some gut reactions to the process. -Don This communication is the property of ClearEdge IT Solutions, LLC and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
