Import TSV file into hbase table

Question

I\'m using hortonworks 2.1 with hbase and hive. I want to create a hbase table from tsv file. The file is here:

  id    c1  c2
row1    1   22
row2    e1  42
         


        

Answer 1

After creating the table, the import command dont execute in hbase shell, you can execute in normal console then it will work properly let us below example

1. create the tabls in hbase shell as per our requirement

   create 'mytable5', 'cf'
   create 'mytable6', 'cf'
   

2. keep the data in hdfs

   hadoop fs -put /home/mani/work/hbase_inputs /hbase_inputs
   

3. import command execute in normal console

   hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.ImportTsv -Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY,cf:c1,cf:c2 mytable5 hdfs://localhost:8020/hbase_inputs/import/sample1.tsv
