Step 4: Setting up MapR-DB Binary Table Mapping
To use the Hue HBase application to access MapR-DB binary tables, you need to
set the hbase.table.namespace.mappings
property. This property allows you to
map Apache HBase table names to MapR-DB tables. Set this property in the
core-site.xml
file as shown in Mapping Table Namespace Between Apache HBase Tables and MapR-DB Binary Tables.
In the following example, the hbase.table.namespace.mappings
property is set
so that any flat table name, such as mytable
, is treated as a MapR-DB table
in the directory /tables_dir/mytable
.
<property>
<name>hbase.table.namespace.mappings</name>
<value>*:/tables_dir</value>
</property>
Once you finish enabling table mapping in the core-site.xml
file, start (or
restart) the HBase thrift server so the changes will take effect.
maprcli node services -name hbasethrift -action start -nodes node001
