7.6.1 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
- Application Development Process
  Before you start developing applications on the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric platform, consider how you will get the data into the platform, the storage format of the data, the type of processing or modeling that is required, and how the data will be accessed.
- File Store and Apps
  The following sections provide information about accessing the File Store with C and Java applications.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database and Apps
  This section contains information about developing client applications for JSON and key-value tables.
  - Installing the mapr-client Package
    The mapr-client package must be installed on each node where you will be building and running your applications. This package installs all of the MapR Libraries needed for application development regardless of programming language or type of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table (binary or JSON).
  - Passing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Table Path
    This topic describes the methods for passing a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table name. Binary table names can be passed by either specifying the table path in the API or by setting the table path in the core-site.xml file. JSON table names are passed by specifying the table path in the API.
  - Tuning Parameters for Client Apps
    Though tuning client applications is generally not necessary, MapR does offer tuning parameters to change the behavior of client-side caching.
  - Developing Applications for Binary Tables
    HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database provides a C API, libMapRClient and partially supports the Apache HBase 1.1 Java APIs for performing operation on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.
    - Creating C Apps - Binary Tables
      MapR provides a library of C APIs – libMapRClient – for performing operations on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.
    - Creating Java Apps - Binary Tables
      This topics describes the supported Apache HBase Java APIs used for CRUD operations on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.
      - Compiling and Running HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Binary Applications
      - HBase Java API Support
        This topic describes the methods in the Apache HBase Java API library that are supported for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables.
    - Impersonation through the HBase REST Gateway
      Impersonation enables access to tables via user IDs other than the user that runs the Gateway.
    - Mapping to HBase Table Namespaces
      This section describes mapping table namespaces between Apache HBase tables and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.
    - Thread-pool Settings for Performance
    - Building MapReduce Applications
      This section provides information about building and running custom MapReduce application that access HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.
  - Setting for OJAI Applications to Use Data Fabric Client Features
    Describes how to set the classpath for OJAI applications to use data-fabric client features.
  - Developing Applications for JSON Tables
    As part of its support for JSON tables, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database implements the OJAI API. The OJAI API provides methods for creating, reading, updating, and deleting JSON documents in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables. It is available in Java, and starting in EEP 6.0, also available in Node.js, Python, C#, and Go. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database also provides a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON Client API for managing JSON tables and a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON REST API for performing basic operations using HTTP calls.
- Apache Kafka Wire Protocol Service
  HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams supports Apache Kafka Wire Protocol Service. Apache Kafka Wire Protocol Service is a TCP/IP service that emulates a Kafka cluster backed by HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams. The service makes it possible for Apache Kafka clients written in any programming language to access topics in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams and Apps
  HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams brings integrated publish and subscribe messaging to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
- MapReduce and Apps
  This section contains information associated with developing YARN applications.
- Kubernetes Interfaces for Data Fabric
  This section describes how to leverage the capabilities of the Kubernetes Interfaces for Data Fabric.
- Ecosystem Components
  The following sections provide information about each open-source project that is supported by the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
- Maven and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric
  This section discusses topics associated with Maven and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
- Developer's Reference
  This section contains in-depth information for the developer.
- API Documentation
  HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric supports public APIs for file system, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database, and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams. These APIs are available for application-development purposes.
Other Docs
This section contains release-independent information, including: Installer documentation, Ecosystem release notes, interoperability matrices, security vulnerabilities, and links to other data-fabric version documentation.
Glossary

Creating Java Apps - Binary Tables

This topics describes the supported Apache HBase Java APIs used for CRUD operations on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database supports all of the Apache HBase 1.0 Java APIs, except where noted in this documentation. For a number of critical Java APIs, for filters, and for comparators, this documentation explicitly lists what is supported, rather than what is not supported.

Code written for Apache HBase can be easily ported to use HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables do not support low-level HBase API calls that are used to manipulate the state of an Apache HBase cluster. HBase API calls that are not supported by HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables report successful completion to allow legacy code written for Apache HBase to continue executing, but do not perform any actual operations.

NOTE For the list of supported HBase v0.98 APIs, refer to the HBase Java API Support.
