# Apache Accumulo RowHash Example

This example shows a simple map/reduce job that reads from an accumulo table and
writes back into that table.

To run this example you will need some data in a table. The following will
put a trivial amount of data into accumulo using the accumulo shell:

    $ accumulo shell
    username@instance> createnamespace examples
    username@instance> createtable examples.rowhash
    username@instance examples.rowhash> insert a-row cf cq value
    username@instance examples.rowhash> insert b-row cf cq value
    username@instance examples.rowhash> quit

The RowHash class will insert a hash for each row in the database if it contains a
specified colum. Here's how you run the map/reduce job

    $ ./bin/runmr mapreduce.RowHash -t examples.rowhash --column cf:cq

Now we can scan the table and see the hashes:

    $ accumulo shell
    username@instance> scan -t examples.rowhash
    a-row cf:cq []    value
    a-row cf-HASHTYPE:cq-MD5BASE64 []    IGPBYI1uC6+AJJxC4r5YBA==
    b-row cf:cq []    value
    b-row cf-HASHTYPE:cq-MD5BASE64 []    IGPBYI1uC6+AJJxC4r5YBA==
    username@instance>
