The utilities are for testing porposes only and should not be used on a production system without further testing (they are also very slow compared to a mapreduce job). Installation: ------------- 1. build the project via maven: $ mvn package 2. then run one of the the following executables: a) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.CopyTable [-conf ...] <source> <target> - to copy a complete table b) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.CopyColumnFamily [-conf ...] <source-table> <source-column> <target-table> <target-column> - to copy a column-family from one table to another table - to copy a column-family to the same table under a different name c) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.MoveColumnFamily [-conf ...] <source-table> <source-column> <target-table> <target-column> - to move a column-family from one table to another table - to rename a column-family within a table d) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.CopyRow [-conf ...] <source-table> <source-row> <target-table> <target-row> - to copy row from one table to another table - to copy row to the same table under a different key e) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.MoveRow [-conf ...] <source-table> <source-row> <target-table> <target-row> - to move row from one table to another table - to move row to the same table under a different key f) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.CopyColumnFamilyData [-conf ...] <source-table> <source-column> <target-table> <target-column> - to copy data of a column-family from one table to another table - to copy data a column-family to the same table under a different name f2) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.hadoop.CopyColumnFamilyData [-conf ...] <source-table> <source-column> <target-table> <target-column> - distributed version of f) via map-reduce (faster if there are multiple regions) g) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.MoveColumnFamilyData [-conf ...] <source-table> <source-column> <target-table> <target-column> - to move data of a column-family from one table to another table - to move data a column-family to the same table under a different name h) $ hadoop jar target/hbase-utils-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.memonews.hbase.CopyTableWithoutData [-conf ...] <source-table> <target-table> - to copy table without data (definition only)
