Hi Alex,
HBase exposes a REST interface named startgate.
You can find about it here
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Stargate
The method of starting the REST server mentioned above seems to be
deprecated.
With HBase 0.20.6 I was able to start it as follows
$HBASE_HOME/*bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.stargate.Main*
It is basically a jetty servlet container.
There also seems to be a thrift interface for HBase. You could use the java
thrift client to access HBase.
These are the methods I am aware of. There could be better methods too.
I would be interested in knowing them too :)
Thanks
Vijay
