Thank your very much for this information. On the server I'm using the Hadoop distribution from Cloudera. To enable Thirft I have installed hadoop-hbase-thrift (version: 0.89.20100924+28-1~lucid-cdh3b3) On the client site I have installed the latest Python Thrift with pip from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/hbase-thrift/0.20.4 Are there newer versions available? Do you know how to generate the clientside while using the Cloudera distribution? I don't have the program "thrift" and can't find a Hbase.thrift file on my system. best wishes, Björn
