Camel and HBase

When using a datasotre datastore inside a camel route, there is always the chalenge challenge of specifying how the camel message will stored to the datastore. In document based stores things are more easy as the message body can be directly mapped to a document. In relational databases an ORM solution can be used to map properties to columns etc. In column based stores things are more challenging as there is no standard way to perform that kind of mapping.

...

As mentioned above camel provides produers producer endpoints for HBase. This allows you to store, delete, retrieve or query data from HBase using your camel routes.

Put Operations.

HBase is a column based store, which allows you to store data into a specific column of a specific row. Columns are grouped into families, so in order to specify a column you need to specify the column family and the qualifier of that column. To store data into a specific column you need to specify both the column and the row.

...

The Camel HBase Consumer, will perform repeated scan on the specified HBase table and will return the scan results as part of the message. You can either specify header mapping (default) or body mapping. The later latter will just add the org.apache.camel.component.hbase.model.HBaseData as part of the message body.

| {div}

If the role of the rowModel is not clear, it allows you to construct the HBaseRow modle programmatically instead of "describing" it with uri options (such as family, qualifier, type etc).

...

The header mapping is the default mapping.
To put the value "myvalue" into HBase row "myrow" and column "myfamily:mycolum" the message should contain the following headers:

Div
classconfluenceTableSmall

Header

Value

CamelHBaseRowId

myrow

CamelHBaseFamily

myfamily

CamelHBaseQualifier

myqualifier

CamelHBaseValue

myvalue

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall} || Header || Value || | CamelHBaseRowId | myrow | | CamelHBaseFamily | myfamily | | CamelHBaseQualifier | myqualifier | | CamelHBaseValue | myvalue | {div}

To put more values for different columns and / or different rows you can specify additional headers suffixed with the index of the headers, e.g:

Div
classconfluenceTableSmall

Header

Value

CamelHBaseRowId

myrow

CamelHBaseFamily

myfamily

CamelHBaseQualifier

myqualifier

CamelHBaseValue

myvalue

CamelHBaseRowId2

myrow2

CamelHBaseFamily2

myfamily

CamelHBaseQualifier2

myqualifier

CamelHBaseValue2

myvalue2

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall} || Header || Value || | CamelHBaseRowId | myrow | | CamelHBaseFamily | myfamily | | CamelHBaseQualifier | myqualifier | | CamelHBaseValue | myvalue | | CamelHBaseRowId2 | myrow2 | | CamelHBaseFamily2 | myfamily | | CamelHBaseQualifier2 | myqualifier | | CamelHBaseValue2 | myvalue2 | {div}

In the case of retrieval operations such as get or scan you can also specify for each column the type that you want the data to be converted to. For exampe:

Div
classconfluenceTableSmall

Header

Value

CamelHBaseFamily

myfamily

CamelHBaseQualifier

myqualifier

CamelHBaseValueType

Long

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall} || Header || Value || | CamelHBaseFamily | myfamily | | CamelHBaseQualifier | myqualifier | | CamelHBaseValueType | Long | {div}

Please note that in order to avoid boilerplate headers that are considered constant for all messages, you can also specify them as part of the endpoint uri, as you will see below.
