Hi Eric, Sorry for the late reply. More inline...
I've given your hbase-book link on github [1] to Ioan (GSoC2011, see > previous mail I just sent) to help him dig into the HBase API. > Great! Let me know if you find issues along the way. > I've also checked-out your repo to learn more, the basic stuff, and the > less basic such as coprocessors... > > Great work!

I used Maven and added a small script that helps to run the examples. It simply sets up the classpath and runs the given example code. This seems real easy for the reader to follow along. We will see how this goes I think. Cheers, Lars Tks, > > - Eric > > [1] https://github.com/larsgeorge/hbase-book/ > [2] https://github.com/echarles/t4f-hbase >
