Hi I'm seeking some pointers/guidance on what we could do to insert billions of records that we already have in avro files in hadoop into HBase.
I read some articles online and one of them recommended using HFile format. I took a cursory look at the documentation for that. Given the complexity of that I think that may be the last resort we want to pursue. Unless some library is out there that easily helps us write our files into that format. I didn't see any. Assuming that the Hbase native client may be our best bet, is there any advice around pre-paritioning our records or such techniques that we could use? thanks Jeff
