Class HTable

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, HTableInterface

@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Stable
public class HTable
extends Object
implements HTableInterface

Used to communicate with a single HBase table. An implementation of HTableInterface. Instances of this class can be constructed directly but it is encouraged that users get instances via HConnection and HConnectionManager. See HConnectionManager class comment for an example.

This class is not thread safe for reads nor write.

In case of writes (Put, Delete), the underlying write buffer can be corrupted if multiple threads contend over a single HTable instance.

In case of reads, some fields used by a Scan are shared among all threads. The HTable implementation can either not contract to be safe in case of a Get

Instances of HTable passed the same Configuration instance will share connections to servers out on the cluster and to the zookeeper ensemble as well as caches of region locations. This is usually a *good* thing and it is recommended to reuse the same configuration object for all your tables. This happens because they will all share the same underlying HConnection instance. See HConnectionManager for more on how this mechanism works.

HConnection will read most of the configuration it needs from the passed Configuration on initial construction. Thereafter, for settings such as hbase.client.pause, hbase.client.retries.number, and hbase.client.rpc.maxattempts updating their values in the passed Configuration subsequent to HConnection construction will go unnoticed. To run with changed values, make a new HTable passing a new Configuration instance that has the new configuration.

Note that this class implements the Closeable interface. When a HTable instance is no longer required, it *should* be closed in order to ensure that the underlying resources are promptly released. Please note that the close method can throw java.io.IOException that must be handled.

IOException - if a remote or network exception occurs.

get

public Result get(Get get)
           throws IOException

Extracts certain cells from a given row.

Specified by:

get in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

get - The object that specifies what data to fetch and from which row.

Returns:

The data coming from the specified row, if it exists. If the row specified doesn't exist, the Result instance returned won't contain any KeyValue, as indicated by Result.isEmpty().

Throws:

IOException - if a remote or network exception occurs.

get

public Result[] get(List<Get> gets)
             throws IOException

Extracts certain cells from the given rows, in batch.

Specified by:

get in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

gets - The objects that specify what data to fetch and from which rows.

Returns:

The data coming from the specified rows, if it exists. If the row specified doesn't exist, the Result instance returned won't contain any KeyValue, as indicated by Result.isEmpty(). If there are any failures even after retries, there will be a null in the results array for those Gets, AND an exception will be thrown.

Throws:

IOException - if a remote or network exception occurs.

batch

public void batch(List<? extends Row> actions,
         Object[] results)
           throws InterruptedException,
                  IOException

Method that does a batch call on Deletes, Gets, Puts, Increments, Appends and RowMutations. The ordering of execution of the actions is not defined. Meaning if you do a Put and a Get in the same HTableInterface.batch(java.util.List<? extends org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Row>, java.lang.Object[]) call, you will not necessarily be guaranteed that the Get returns what the Put had put.

Specified by:

batch in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

actions - list of Get, Put, Delete, Increment, Append, RowMutations objects

results - Empty Object[], same size as actions. Provides access to partial results, in case an exception is thrown. A null in the result array means that the call for that action failed, even after retries

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

batch

public Object[] batch(List<? extends Row> actions)
               throws InterruptedException,
                      IOException

Deprecated. If any exception is thrown by one of the actions, there is no way to retrieve the partially executed results. Use batch(List, Object[]) instead.

Same as HTableInterface.batch(List, Object[]), but returns an array of results instead of using a results parameter reference.

Specified by:

batch in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

actions - list of Get, Put, Delete, Increment, Append, RowMutations objects

Returns:

the results from the actions. A null in the return array means that the call for that action failed, even after retries

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

batchCallback

public <R> void batchCallback(List<? extends Row> actions,
                     Object[] results,
                     Batch.Callback<R> callback)
                   throws IOException,
                          InterruptedException

Same as HTableInterface.batch(List, Object[]), but with a callback.

Specified by:

batchCallback in interface HTableInterface

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

batchCallback

public <R> Object[] batchCallback(List<? extends Row> actions,
                         Batch.Callback<R> callback)
                       throws IOException,
                              InterruptedException

Deprecated. If any exception is thrown by one of the actions, there is no way to retrieve the partially executed results. Use batchCallback(List, Object[], org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.coprocessor.Batch.Callback) instead.

Same as HTableInterface.batch(List), but with a callback.

Specified by:

batchCallback in interface HTableInterface

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

delete

public void delete(Delete delete)
            throws IOException

Deletes the specified cells/row.

Specified by:

delete in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

delete - The object that specifies what to delete.

Throws:

IOException - if a remote or network exception occurs.

delete

public void delete(List<Delete> deletes)
            throws IOException

Deletes the specified cells/rows in bulk.

Specified by:

delete in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

deletes - List of things to delete. List gets modified by this method (in particular it gets re-ordered, so the order in which the elements are inserted in the list gives no guarantee as to the order in which the Deletes are executed).

Throws:

IOException - if a remote or network exception occurs. In that case the deletes argument will contain the Delete instances that have not be successfully applied.

put

public void put(Put put)
         throws InterruptedIOException,
                RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException

Puts some data in the table.

If isAutoFlush is false, the update is buffered until the internal buffer is full.

Specified by:

put in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

put - The data to put.

Throws:

InterruptedIOException

RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException

put

public void put(List<Put> puts)
         throws InterruptedIOException,
                RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException

Puts some data in the table, in batch.

If isAutoFlush is false, the update is buffered until the internal buffer is full.

This can be used for group commit, or for submitting user defined batches. The writeBuffer will be periodically inspected while the List is processed, so depending on the List size the writeBuffer may flush not at all, or more than once.

Specified by:

put in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

puts - The list of mutations to apply. The batch put is done by aggregating the iteration of the Puts over the write buffer at the client-side for a single RPC call.

Throws:

InterruptedIOException

RetriesExhaustedWithDetailsException

mutateRow

public void mutateRow(RowMutations rm)
               throws IOException

Performs multiple mutations atomically on a single row. Currently Put and Delete are supported.

Specified by:

mutateRow in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

rm - object that specifies the set of mutations to perform atomically

Throws:

IOException

append

public Result append(Append append)
              throws IOException

Appends values to one or more columns within a single row.

This operation does not appear atomic to readers. Appends are done under a single row lock, so write operations to a row are synchronized, but readers do not take row locks so get and scan operations can see this operation partially completed.

Specified by:

append in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

append - object that specifies the columns and amounts to be used for the increment operations

Returns:

values of columns after the append operation (maybe null)

Throws:

IOException - e

increment

public Result increment(Increment increment)
                 throws IOException

Increments one or more columns within a single row.

This operation does not appear atomic to readers. Increments are done under a single row lock, so write operations to a row are synchronized, but readers do not take row locks so get and scan operations can see this operation partially completed.

Specified by:

increment in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

increment - object that specifies the columns and amounts to be used for the increment operations

Returns:

values of columns after the increment

Throws:

IOException - e

incrementColumnValue

                        Durability durability)
                          throws IOException

Atomically increments a column value. If the column value already exists and is not a big-endian long, this could throw an exception. If the column value does not yet exist it is initialized to amount and written to the specified column.

Setting durability to Durability.SKIP_WAL means that in a fail scenario you will lose any increments that have not been flushed.

Specified by:

incrementColumnValue in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

row - The row that contains the cell to increment.

family - The column family of the cell to increment.

qualifier - The column qualifier of the cell to increment.

isAutoFlush

public boolean isAutoFlush()

Tells whether or not 'auto-flush' is turned on.

Specified by:

isAutoFlush in interface HTableInterface

Returns:

true if 'auto-flush' is enabled (default), meaning Put operations don't get buffered/delayed and are immediately executed.

setAutoFlush

@Deprecated
public void setAutoFlush(boolean autoFlush)

Deprecated.

See HTableInterface.setAutoFlush(boolean, boolean)

Specified by:

setAutoFlush in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

autoFlush - Whether or not to enable 'auto-flush'.

setAutoFlushTo

public void setAutoFlushTo(boolean autoFlush)

Set the autoFlush behavior, without changing the value of clearBufferOnFail

Specified by:

setAutoFlushTo in interface HTableInterface

setAutoFlush

public void setAutoFlush(boolean autoFlush,
                boolean clearBufferOnFail)

Turns 'auto-flush' on or off.

When enabled (default), Put operations don't get buffered/delayed and are immediately executed. Failed operations are not retried. This is slower but safer.

Turning off #autoFlush means that multiple Puts will be accepted before any RPC is actually sent to do the write operations. If the application dies before pending writes get flushed to HBase, data will be lost.

When you turn #autoFlush off, you should also consider the #clearBufferOnFail option. By default, asynchronous Put requests will be retried on failure until successful. However, this can pollute the writeBuffer and slow down batching performance. Additionally, you may want to issue a number of Put requests and call HTableInterface.flushCommits() as a barrier. In both use cases, consider setting clearBufferOnFail to true to erase the buffer after HTableInterface.flushCommits() has been called, regardless of success.

In other words, if you call #setAutoFlush(false); HBase will retry N time for each flushCommit, including the last one when closing the table. This is NOT recommended, most of the time you want to call #setAutoFlush(false, true).

Specified by:

setAutoFlush in interface HTableInterface

Parameters:

autoFlush - Whether or not to enable 'auto-flush'.

clearBufferOnFail - Whether to keep Put failures in the writeBuffer. If autoFlush is true, then the value of this parameter is ignored and clearBufferOnFail is set to true. Setting clearBufferOnFail to false is deprecated since 0.96.

The parameter here is only used to locate the region used to handle the call.

The obtained RpcChannel instance can be used to access a published coprocessor Service using standard protobuf service invocations:

 CoprocessorRpcChannel channel = myTable.coprocessorService(rowkey);
 MyService.BlockingInterface service = MyService.newBlockingStub(channel);
 MyCallRequest request = MyCallRequest.newBuilder()
     ...
     .build();

endKey - select regions up to and including the region containing this row. If null, selection will continue through the last table region.

callable - this instance's Batch.Call.call(T) method will be invoked once per table region, using the Service instance connected to that region.

Throws:

ServiceException

Throwable

setOperationTimeout

public void setOperationTimeout(int operationTimeout)

getOperationTimeout

Creates an instance of the given Service subclass for each table region spanning the range from the startKey row to endKey row (inclusive), all the invocations to the same region server will be batched into one call. The coprocessor service is invoked according to the service instance, method name and parameters.

Specified by:

batchCoprocessorService in interface HTableInterface

Type Parameters:

R - the response type for the coprocessor Service method

Parameters:

methodDescriptor - the descriptor for the protobuf service method to call.

request - the method call parameters

startKey - start region selection with region containing this row. If null, the selection will start with the first table region.

endKey - select regions up to and including the region containing this row. If null, selection will continue through the last table region.

responsePrototype - the proto type of the response of the method in Service.

Returns:

a map of result values keyed by region name

Throws:

ServiceException

Throwable
