[HBase-dev] HBase Push Video or Image File

HBase has a "bytes-in/bytes-out" interface (see Put and Result). As long as you can convert the object to bytes and make sense of it later, you can put it in HBase -within reason, because there are practical size limitations.

Hi there,

Just started off with HBase. So this could be a stupid question . But here it goes ...

Can we insert any video file (e.g. .avi) or image file (e.g. .png) directly into HBase with any kind of query or through a Java code?

Regards,
Rajat.

Hey Doug,
Thanks a lot for the reply. But is there any sample/example code available
that does the same?
I found this code in code.google.com, but it looks more like it is putting
the avi file in HDFS instead of HBase.

http://code.google.com/p/hbase-jdo/
But I cant seem to be able to understand the code properly. Is there any API
documentation available for the hbase-util classes?

Thanks.
Sgt. Pepper.

Hi there-

I'd recommend reading this...

http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#datamodel

... and focusing on what is available in the HBase client API before worrying about hbase-util, which are wrappers on the same HBase client API.

Hey there Doug,
Yeah I did exactly that and now I am able to store any kind of file in HBase for that matter. Thanks a lot for all your help.
