Creating JSON Tables with the MapR-DB OJAI Java API Library

Create a JSON table by calling an Admin object's createTable() method, passing as an argument the path that you want to use for the new table.

Example

 public void createJSONTable(String tablePath) throws DBException {
    try (Admin admin = MapRDB.newAdmin()) {
      if (!admin.tableExists(tablePath)) {
          admin.createTable(tablePath).close();
      }
    }
  }
Tables created with the version of the createTable() method used in this example use the default values for their attributes. Tables created with another version of the create() method take a TableDescriptor object as an argument. Before passing that object to the method, you can set values for some of a table's attributes. 
/* Create a TableDescriptor for the table to create,
   passing in the path of the table. */
TableDescriptor tableDescriptor = MapRDB.newTableDescriptor(tablePath)
   .setBulkLoad(true);

/* Pass the TableDescriptor object and the path to the table
   to the Admin.createTable() method. */
public void createJSONTable(String tablePath, TableDescriptor tableDescriptor) throws DBException {
  try (Admin admin = MapRDB.newAdmin()) {
	if (!admin.tableExists(tablePath)) {
           admin.createTable(tableDescriptor).close();
	}
  }
}
