Scripting & Automation in HBase

Question

Hi All,

I'm new to HBase. I have learnt it by some books and Udemy courses. Can someone help me to understand, how to automate it?

For example, if one wants to create tables or wanted to perform some administrative tasks, has to create script and run it periodically. in this case, we can wrte script and schedule it in scheduling tool.

Which scripting is being used here? Shell Script or HBase has internal scripting mechanism?

Any books, tutorial suggestion are welcome.

Hello @AmitBIDWH

Thanks for using Cloudera Community. HBase offers Tools for Use-Cases as Bulk-Loading, Exporting, Importing, CopyTable etc. Additionally, few Task as Compactions are managed implicitly by Customer. We would suggest reviewing [1] for any HBase concerns.

To your Q concerning Create > Admin > Load, BulkLoad [2] is one of the Best Tool for Large-Scale Loading. Additionally, Your Team may use HBase Shell or REST APIs [3] for further activities.

Kindly review & let us know if you have any concerns.
