Deployment

Daemon

HBase REST can run as a daemon which starts an embedded Jetty servlet container and deploys the servlet into it.

  1. Start the embedded Jetty servlet container:
    • In the foreground:
      % ./bin/hbase rest start -p <port>

      where <port> is optional, and is the port the connector should listen on. (Default is 8080.)

Representational State Transfer

The terms "representational state transfer" and "REST" were introduced in 2000 in the doctoral dissertation of Roy Fielding, one of the principal authors of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) specification.

A GET to an identifier requests a copy of the information in the supplied content type.

A PUT to an identifier replaces the information. The supplied content type determines how it is to be interpreted.

POST adds information.

DELETE eliminates information.

Resource Identifiers

RFC 3968 defines URL syntax: 

scheme://user:pass@example.net:8080/path/to/file;type=foo?name=val#frag
\_____/  \_______/\___________/\__/\______/\____/\______/\________/\___/
   |         |          |       |     |      |       |       |       |
 scheme   userinfo  hostname  port  path  filename param   query fragment
         \________________________/
                  authority

HBase REST exposes HBase tables, rows, cells, and metadata as URL specified resources.

NOTE: The characters /, :, and , are reserved within row keys, column names, and column qualifiers. Clients must escape them somehow, perhaps by encoding them as hex escapes or by using www-url-encoding. For example, the key: 

    http://www.google.com/

should first be encoded as: 

    http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

to produce a path like: 

    /SomeTable/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F/someColumn:qualifier

Addressing for cell or row query (GET)

    path := '/' <table>
            '/' <row>
            ( '/' ( <column> ( ':' <qualifier> )?
                    ( ',' <column> ( ':' <qualifier> )? )+ )?
                ( '/' ( <start-timestamp> ',' )? <end-timestamp> )? )?
    query := ( '?' 'v' '=' <num-versions> )?

Addressing for single value store (PUT)

Address with table, row, column (and optional qualifier), and optional timestamp. 

    path := '/' <table> '/' <row> '/' <column> ( ':' <qualifier> )?
              ( '/' <timestamp> )?

Addressing for multiple (batched) value store (PUT)

    path := '/' <table> '/' <false-row-key>

Addressing for row, column, or cell DELETE

    path := '/' <table> 
            '/' <row>
            ( '/' <column> ( ':' <qualifier> )?
              ( '/' <timestamp> )? )?

Addressing for table creation or schema update (PUT or POST), schema query (GET), or delete (DELETE)

    path := '/' <table> / 'schema'

Addressing for scanner creation (POST)

    path := '/' <table> '/' 'scanner'

Addressing for scanner next item (GET)

    path := '/' <table> '/' 'scanner' '/' <scanner-id>

Addressing for scanner deletion (DELETE)

    path := '/' <table> '/' '%scanner' '/' <scanner-id>

Operations

Query Software Version

GET /version

Returns the software version. Set Accept header to text/plain for plain text output. Set Accept header to text/xml for XML reply. Set Accept header to application/json for JSON reply. Set Accept header to application/x-protobuf for protobufs.

If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns the software version.

Create Table Or Update Table Schema

PUT /<table>/schema

POST /<table>/schema

Uploads table schema. PUT or POST creates table as necessary. PUT fully replaces schema. POST modifies schema (add or modify column family). Supply the full table schema for PUT or a well formed schema fragment for POST in the desired encoding. Set Content-Type header to text/xml if the desired encoding is XML. Set Content-Type header to application/json if the desired encoding is JSON. Set Content-Type header to application/x-protobuf if the desired encoding is protobufs. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns HTTP 200 status.

Query Table Metadata

GET /<table>/regions

Retrieves table region metadata. Set Accept header to text/plain for plain text output. Set Accept header to text/xml for XML reply. Set Accept header to application/json for JSON reply. Set Accept header to application/x-protobuf for protobufs. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns the table region metadata in the requested encoding.

Examples:

% curl -H "Accept: text/xml" http://localhost:8000/content/regions

Delete Table

DELETE /<table>/schema

Deletes a table. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns HTTP 200 status.

NOTE: DELETE /<table> will not work

Examples:

% telnet localhost 8000
DELETE http://localhost:8000/test/schema HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 0

Cell Query (Single Value)

GET /<table>/<row>/
    <column> ( : <qualifier> )?
  ( / <timestamp> )?

Retrieves one cell, with optional specification of timestamp. Set Accept header to text/xml for XML reply. Set Accept header to application/x-protobuf for protobufs. Set Accept header to application/octet-stream for binary. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns HTTP 200 status and cell data in the response body in the requested encoding. If the encoding is binary, returns row, column, and timestamp in X headers: X-Row, X-Column, and X-Timestamp, respectively. Depending on the precision of the resource specification, some of the X-headers may be elided as redundant.

Cell or Row Query (Multiple Values)

GET /<table>/<row>
  ( / ( <column> ( : <qualifier> )?
      ( , <column> ( : <qualifier> )? )+ )?
    ( / ( <start-timestamp> ',' )? <end-timestamp> )? )?
  ( ?v= <num-versions> )?

Retrieves one or more cells from a full row, or one or more specified columns in the row, with optional filtering via timestamp, and an optional restriction on the maximum number of versions to return. Set Accept header to text/xml for XML reply. Set Accept header to application/json for JSON reply. Set Accept header to application/x-protobuf for protobufs. Set Accept header to application/octet-stream for binary. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns row results in the requested encoding.

NOTE: If binary encoding is requested, only one cell can be returned, the first to match the resource specification. The row, column, and timestamp associated with the cell will be transmitted in X headers: X-Row, X-Column, and X-Timestamp, respectively. Depending on the precision of the resource specification, some of the X-headers may be elided as redundant.

Suffix Globbing

Multiple value queries of a row can optionally append a suffix glob on the row key. This is a restricted form of scanner which will return all values in all rows that have keys which contain the supplied key on their left hand side, for example: 

    org.someorg.*
        -> org.someorg.blog
        -> org.someorg.home
        -> org.someorg.www

Cell Store (Single)

PUT /<table>/<row>/<column>( : <qualifier> )? ( / <timestamp> )?

POST /<table>/<row>/<column>( : <qualifier> )? ( / <timestamp> )?

Stores cell data into the specified location. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns HTTP 200 status. Set Content-Type header to text/xml for XML encoding. Set Content-Type header to application/x-protobuf for protobufs encoding. Set Content-Type header to application/octet-stream for binary encoding. When using binary encoding, optionally, set X-Timestamp header to the desired timestamp.

PUT and POST operations are equivalent here: Specified addresses without existing data will create new values. Specified addresses with existing data will create new versions, overwriting an existing version if all of { row, column:qualifier, timestamp } match that of the existing value.

See "Cell Query (Single Value)" section for encoding examples.

Examples:

% curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data '[...]' http://localhost:8000/test/testrow/test:testcolumn

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 0

Cell Store (Multiple)

PUT /<table>/<false-row-key>

POST /<table>/<false-row-key>

Use a false row key. Row, column, and timestamp values in supplied cells override the specifications of the same on the path, allowing for posting of multiple values to a table in batch. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns HTTP 200 status. Set Content-Type to text/xml for XML encoding. Set Content-Type header to application/x-protobuf for protobufs encoding. Supply commit data in the PUT or POST body.

PUT and POST operations are equivalent here: Specified addresses without existing data will create new values. Specified addresses with existing data will create new versions, overwriting an existing version if all of { row, column:qualifier, timestamp } match that of the existing value.

See "Cell or Row Query (Multiple Values)" for encoding examples.

Row, Column, or Cell Delete

DELETE /<table>/<row>
  ( / ( <column> ( : <qualifier> )? 
    ( / <timestamp> )? )?

Deletes an entire row, a entire column family, or specific cell(s), depending on how specific the data address. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns HTTP 200 status.

NOTE: DELETE /<table> will not work. Use DELETE /<table>/schema instead.

Scanner Creation

PUT /<table>/scanner

POST /<table>/scanner

Allocates a new table scanner. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns HTTP 201 status (created) and the URI which should be used to address the scanner, e.g.

/<table>/scanner/112876541342014107c0fa92

Set Content-Type to text/xml if supplying an XML scanner specification. Set Content-Type to application/protobuf if supplying a protobufs encoded specification.

Examples:

% curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d '<Scanner batch="1"/>' http://localhost:8000/content/scanner

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: http://localhost:8000/content/scanner/12447063229213b1937
Content-Length: 0

Scanner Get Next

GET /<table>/scanner/<scanner-id>

Returns the values of the next cells found by the scanner, up to the configured batch amount. Set Accept header to text/xml for XML encoding. Set Accept header to application/x-protobuf for protobufs encoding. Set Accept header to application/octet-stream for binary encoding. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If result is successful but the scanner is exhausted, returns HTTP 204 status (no content). Otherwise, returns HTTP 200 status and row and cell data in the response body. See examples from the "Cell or Row Query (Multiple Values)" section.

NOTE: The binary encoding option returns only one cell regardless of the batching parameter supplied during scanner creation. The row, column, and timestamp associated with the cell are transmitted as X-headers: X-Row, X-Column, and X-Timestamp respectively.

Scanner Deletion

DELETE /<table>/scanner/<scanner-id>

Deletes resources associated with the scanner. This is an optional action. Scanners will expire after some globally configurable interval has elapsed with no activity on the scanner. If not successful, returns appropriate HTTP error status code. If successful, returns HTTP status 200.

Examples:

% telnet localhost 8000
DELETE http://localhost:8000/content/scanner/12447063229213b1937 HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 0

Stateless Scanner

    GET /<table>/<optional_row_prefix>*?<scan_parameters>

The current scanner API expects clients to restart scans if there is a REST server failure in the midst. The stateless does not store any state related to scan operation and all the parameters are specified as query parameters.

The following are the scan parameters

  1. startrow - The start row for the scan.
  2. endrow - The end row for the scan.
  3. columns - The columns to scan.
  4. starttime, endtime - To only retrieve columns within a specific range of version timestamps, both start and end time must be specified.
  5. maxversions - To limit the number of versions of each column to be returned.
  6. batchsize - To limit the maximum number of values returned for each call to next().
  7. limit - The number of rows to return in the scan operation.

More on start row, end row and limit parameters.

  1. If start row, end row and limit not specified, then the whole table will be scanned.
  2. If start row and limit (say N) is specified, then the scan operation will return N rows from the start row specified.
  3. If only limit parameter is specified, then the scan operation will return N rows from the start of the table.
  4. If limit and end row are specified, then the scan operation will return N rows from start of table till the end row. If the end row is reached before N rows ( say M and M < N ), then M rows will be returned to the user.
  5. If start row, end row and limit (say N ) are specified and N < number of rows between start row and end row, then N rows from start row will be returned to the user. If N > (number of rows between start row and end row (say M), then M number of rows will be returned to the user.

Examples

Lets say we have a table with name "ExampleScanner". On Hbase shell,
>> scan 'ExampleScanner'
