HBase Thrift For C++ Client

This is a common C++ client that accesses HBase cluster through HBase ThriftServer. It based on HBase thrift, but not the new thrift interface in HBase 0.94+ version.

Prerequisites

• Download, decompress and install thrift-0.8.0.

wget https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/thrift/0.8.0/thrift-0.8.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf thrift-0.8.0.tar.gz
sudo yum install automake libtool flex bison pkgconfig gcc-c++ boost-devel libevent-devel zlib-devel python-devel ruby-devel
cd thrift-0.8.0
./configure
make
sudo make install

• Download and decompress hbase-0.92.1 or previous versions.

wget http://www.fayea.com/apache-mirror/hbase/hbase-0.92.1/hbase-0.92.1.tar.gz
tar zxvf hbase-0.92.1.tar.gz

Instructions

• Run Thrift to generate the cpp module HBase:

thrift --gen cpp [hbase-root]/src/main/resources/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/thrift/Hbase.thrift

• Make the project to generate binary program:

make demo
make test

• Execute the binary program:

./demo [host] [port]
./testput [host] [port] [key_len] [val_len] [list_num]
./testget [host] [port] [key_len] [val_len] [list_num] [block_cache_flag]
