Hi,
Currently in Gora, we support the following table attributes, which we
specify when mapping data into HBase;
compression, blockCache, blockSize, bloomFilter, maxVersions, timeToLive,
inMemory .
These expand to the following
HColumnDescriptor columnDescriptor = getOrCreateFamily(familyName, families);
if(compression != null)
columnDescriptor.setCompressionType(Algorithm.valueOf(compression));
if(blockCache != null)
columnDescriptor.setBlockCacheEnabled(Boolean.parseBoolean(blockCache));
if(blockSize != null)
columnDescriptor.setBlocksize(Integer.parseInt(blockSize));
if(bloomFilter != null)
columnDescriptor.setBloomFilterType(BloomType.valueOf(bloomFilter));
if(maxVersions != null)
columnDescriptor.setMaxVersions(Integer.parseInt(maxVersions));
if(timeToLive != null)
columnDescriptor.setTimeToLive(Integer.parseInt(timeToLive));
if(inMemory != null)
columnDescriptor.setInMemory(Boolean.parseBoolean(inMemory));
}
Within GORA-218[0], it is our intention to add default values for such
attributes and document a bit about them as well. Currently an example of
our hbase mapping file is here [1]. As you can see, the table block only
has the name attribute, the remaining ones below are missing.
Some guidance on setting these defaults and a brief explanation of what
they do would be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance for anyone able to help us out on this one.
