Dear all, I've installed HBase from the Cloudera repository, using the karmic-cdh3 distribution, which evidently gives me hbase version 0.89.20100621+17. I'm particularly interested in creating a few secondary indexes and was initially using the following blog as an example: (http://rajeev1982.blogspot.com/2009/06/secondary-indexes-in-hbase.html). Various classes used in this example no longer appear to exist and having investigated a bit further, by comparing the API docs for 0.20.5 and 0.89.20100621, it looks like those packages were removed. I'm guessing that the HBase Versioning page is still correct in that new features are being actively developed on the 0.89 branch and the 0.20 branch is the stable release version.
Have those classes been superseded by something else? I did find, in the package page for org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client (http://hbase.apache.org/docs/r0.89.20100621/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/package-frame.html) a link at the bottom called 'Table Indexed HBase', but it is broken. I'd rather not go through the pain of trying to create something similar myself, or have to re-install my cluster from scratch, and by hand with a downloaded version of the 0.20.5 branch. However, if thats the only answer then I suppose it'll have to be! Thanks, Jamie
