Hi Josh,
thank for your reply, I'm trying to implement a bulk save to Phoenix
with Apache Spark, and the code you linked helped me a lot. I'm now
facing an issue with composite primary keys, I cannot find anywhere in
the Phoenix code where the row-key is built using the partial phoenix
primary keys. Can someone point me to the piece of code inside Phoenix
that realizes that?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Antonio,
You're correct, the phoenix-spark output uses the Phoenix Hadoop
OutputFormat under the hood, which effectively does a parallel, batch
JDBC upsert. It should scale depending on the number of Spark
executors, RDD/DataFrame parallelism, and number of HBase
RegionServers, though admittedly there's a lot of overhead involved.
The CSV Bulk loading tool uses MapReduce, it's not integrated with
Spark. It's likely possible to do so, but it's probably a non-trivial
amount of work. If you're interested in taking it on, I'd start with
looking at the following classes:
https://github.com/apache/phoenix/blob/master/phoenix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/phoenix/mapreduce/CsvBulkLoadTool.java
https://github.com/apache/phoenix/blob/master/phoenix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/phoenix/mapreduce/AbstractBulkLoadTool.java
https://github.com/apache/phoenix/blob/master/phoenix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/phoenix/mapreduce/PhoenixOutputFormat.java
https://github.com/apache/phoenix/blob/master/phoenix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/phoenix/mapreduce/PhoenixRecordWriter.java
https://github.com/apache/phoenix/blob/master/phoenix-spark/src/main/scala/org/apache/phoenix/spark/DataFrameFunctions.scala
Good luck,
Josh

Hi,
I would like to perform a Bulk insert to HBase using Apache
Phoenix from
Spark. I tried using Apache Spark Phoenix library but, as far as I was
able to understand from the code, it looks like it performs a jdbc
batch
of upserts (am I right?). Instead I want to perform a Bulk load
like the
one described in this blog post
(https://zeyuanxy.github.io/HBase-Bulk-Loading/
<https://zeyuanxy.github.io/HBase-Bulk-Loading/>) but taking
advance of
the automatic transformation between java/scala types to Bytes.
I'm actually using phoenix 4.5.2, therefore I cannot use hive to
manipulate the phoenix table, and if it possible i want to avoid to
spawn a MR job that reads data from csv
(https://phoenix.apache.org/bulk_dataload.html
<https://phoenix.apache.org/bulk_dataload.html>). Actually i just
want to
do what the csv loader is doing with MR but programmatically with
Spark
(since the data I want to persist is already loaded in memory).
Thank you all!
