Import TSV file into hbase table

Question

I\'m using hortonworks 2.1 with hbase and hive. I want to create a hbase table from tsv file. The file is here:

  id    c1  c2
row1    1   22
row2    e1  42
         


        

Answer 1

After creating the table, the import command dont execute in hbase shell, you can execute in normal console then it will work properly let us below example

1. create the tabls in hbase shell as per our requirement

   create 'mytable5', 'cf'
   create 'mytable6', 'cf'
   

2. keep the data in hdfs

   hadoop fs -put /home/mani/work/hbase_inputs /hbase_inputs
   

3. import command execute in normal console

   hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.ImportTsv -Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY,cf:c1,cf:c2 mytable5 hdfs://localhost:8020/hbase_inputs/import/sample1.tsv
   

Answer 2

You shoud create a table in Hbase with 'd' as a column family and then you can import this tsv file into that table.

Answer 3

Do you have a table already created in Hbase ? You will first have to create a table in Hbase with 'd' as a column family and then you can import this tsv file into that table.
