| |
| This chapter will cover access to Apache HBase either through non-Java languages, or through custom protocols. |
| For information on using the native HBase APIs, refer to link:http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/index.html[User API Reference] and the new <<hbase_apis,HBase APIs>> chapter. |
| |
| [[nonjava.jvm]] |
| == Non-Java Languages Talking to the JVM |
| |
| Currently the documentation on this topic is in the link:http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase[Apache HBase Wiki]. |
| See also the link:http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/thrift/package-summary.html#package_description[Thrift API Javadoc]. |
| |
| == REST |
| |
| Currently most of the documentation on REST exists in the link:http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Stargate[Apache HBase Wiki on REST] (The REST gateway used to be called 'Stargate'). There are also a nice set of blogs on link:http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2013/03/how-to-use-the-apache-hbase-rest-interface-part-1/[How-to: Use the Apache HBase REST Interface] by Jesse Anderson. |
| |
| To run your REST server under SSL, set `hbase.rest.ssl.enabled` to `true` and also set the following configs when you launch the REST server: (See example commands in <<jmx_config,JMX config>>) |
| |
| [source] |
| ---- |
| hbase.rest.ssl.keystore.store |
| hbase.rest.ssl.keystore.password |
| hbase.rest.ssl.keystore.keypassword |
| ---- |
| |
| HBase ships a simple REST client, see link:http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/rest/client/package-summary.html[REST client] package for details. |
| To enable SSL support for it, please also import your certificate into local java cacerts keystore: |
| ---- |
| keytool -import -trustcacerts -file /home/user/restserver.cert -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts |
| ---- |
| |
| == Thrift |
| |
| Documentation about Thrift has moved to <<thrift>>. |
| |
| [[c]] |
| == C/C++ Apache HBase Client |
| |
| FB's Chip Turner wrote a pure C/C++ client. |
