HBase Shell命令学习

在hbase shell状态下，使用命令help，会显示hbase 所有的命令

hbase(main):015:0> help
NameError: undefined local variable or method `he' for #<Object:0x1900f17>

hbase(main):016:0> help
HBase Shell, version 0.92.1, r1298924, Fri Mar  9 16:58:34 UTC 2012
Type 'help "COMMAND"', (e.g. 'help "get"' -- the quotes are necessary) for help on a specific command.
Commands are grouped. Type 'help "COMMAND_GROUP"', (e.g. 'help "general"') for help on a command group.

COMMAND GROUPS:
  Group name: general
  Commands: status, version

  Group name: ddl
  Commands: alter, alter_async, alter_status, create, describe, disable, disable_all, drop, drop_all, enable, enable_all, exists, is_disabled, is_enabled, list, show_filters

  Group name: dml
  Commands: count, delete, deleteall, get, get_counter, incr, put, scan, truncate

  Group name: tools
  Commands: assign, balance_switch, balancer, close_region, compact, flush, hlog_roll, major_compact, move, split, unassign, zk_dump

  Group name: replication
  Commands: add_peer, disable_peer, enable_peer, list_peers, remove_peer, start_replication, stop_replication

  Group name: security
  Commands: grant, revoke, user_permission

SHELL USAGE:
Quote all names in HBase Shell such as table and column names.  Commas delimit
command parameters.  Type <RETURN> after entering a command to run it.
Dictionaries of configuration used in the creation and alteration of tables are
Ruby Hashes. They look like this:

  {'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', ...}

and are opened and closed with curley-braces.  Key/values are delimited by the
'=>' character combination.  Usually keys are predefined constants such as
NAME, VERSIONS, COMPRESSION, etc.  Constants do not need to be quoted.  Type
'Object.constants' to see a (messy) list of all constants in the environment.

If you are using binary keys or values and need to enter them in the shell, use
double-quote'd hexadecimal representation. For example:

  hbase> get 't1', "key\x03\x3f\xcd"
  hbase> get 't1', "key\003\023\011"
  hbase> put 't1', "test\xef\xff", 'f1:', "\x01\x33\x40"

The HBase shell is the (J)Ruby IRB with the above HBase-specific commands added.

挨个看看
general：
status 查看hbase状态

hbase(main):017:0> status
1 servers, 0 dead, 4.0000 average load

version 查看版本

0.92.1, r1298924, Fri Mar  9 16:58:34 UTC 2012 

看一下hbase常用的操作命令有：
create,describe,disable,drop,list,scan,put,get,delete,deleteall,count,status

创建表
create 'user','username','mobile'
查看所有的表：
hbase(main):001:0> list
TABLE                                                                                                                 
test                                         
test1     
user 
查看表结构

hbase(main):003:0> describe 'user'
DESCRIPTION                                                                                     ENABLED                                            
 {NAME => 'user', FAMILIES => [{NAME => 'mobile', BLOOMFILTER => 'NONE', REPLICATION_SCOPE => ' true                                               
 0', VERSIONS => '3', COMPRESSION => 'NONE', MIN_VERSIONS => '0', TTL => '2147483647', BLOCKSIZ                                                    
 E => '65536', IN_MEMORY => 'false', BLOCKCACHE => 'true'}, {NAME => 'name', BLOOMFILTER => 'NO                                                    
 NE', REPLICATION_SCOPE => '0', VERSIONS => '3', COMPRESSION => 'NONE', MIN_VERSIONS => '0', TT                                                    
 L => '2147483647', BLOCKSIZE => '65536', IN_MEMORY => 'false', BLOCKCACHE => 'true'}]} 
删除一个列族，alter，disable，enable
hbase(main):003:0>alter 'user',{NAME=>'mobile',METHOD=>'delete'} 
drop一个表
Drop the named table. Table must first be disabled. If table has. more than one region, run a major compaction on .META.:
drop之前必须先disabled表
hbase(main):036:0> disable   'test'
0 row(s) in 2.2000 seconds

hbase(main):037:0> drop 'test'
0 row(s) in 1.8130 seconds

hbase(main):038:0> list
TABLE                                                                                                                 
persion                                                              
test1                                                         
user 
查看表是否存在
hbase(main):039:0> exists 'test'
Table test does not exist  

睡觉。 
==续
version就是修改数据的版本，比如你可以查你修改之前的值
查看此列的多个版本
hbase(main):005:0> get 'blog','1',{COLUMN=>'author:name',VERSIONS=>2}
COLUMN                         CELL                                                                                 
 author:name                   timestamp=1336903227226, value=zhangkai                                              
 author:name                   timestamp=1336903136510, value=zhnagkai                                              
2 row(s) in 0.0350 seconds
如果只想看旧版本的值，需要借助TIMESTAMP
hbase(main):006:0> get 'blog','1',{COLUMN=>'author:name',TIMESTAMP=>1336903136510}
COLUMN                         CELL                                                                                 
 author:name                   timestamp=1336903136510, value=zhnagkai                                              
1 row(s) in 0.0270 seconds
删除一列
delete 'blog','1','author:name'
删除RowKey的所有column
deleteall 'blog','1'
