Hi, What is the easiest and efficient way to write a sequence file into HBase. I want to parse the sequence file. My sequence file has records in the form of <null,bytes> .
I want to parse each value, generate keys and values in map() function and write the output into HBase. I am trying to use HBaseTableUtil class. But I am seeing TableMapReduceUtil.initTableReducerJob() method that is doing something that I need. But I guess, it requires some reducer to exist. Am I right here ? Other way is to create HBase Configuration object in mapper.setup () method, do insertions in map () function and close the connections in mapper.close () method. I was wondering what is the industry standard or most efficient way to do map-side insertion on Hbase. Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks Praveenesh
