The target is i want to accelerate the speed of save some data from Hbase to hive. By default I used the HbaseStorageHandler, but it's very slow because it used full scan by request Hbase region server. So i tried to query Hbase bypass the region server, and directly access the data from underline file. It was at least 6 times quicker than before when i query Hbase with snapshot. But, i can't write the data into hive table, all the fields were null except the row key. drop table if exists test; create table test as select * from default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table; However if i don't use the snapshot, HbaseStorageHandler can successfully load data into new hive table. Here are steps i took: First i have created a Hbase table: create 'user_data_table','personal_data','professional_data'; Then I inserted few records into the table as put 'user_data_table','user1','personal_data:Location','IL' put 'user_data_table','user1','personal_data:FName','Deb' put 'user_data_table','user1','personal_data:LName','D' put 'user_data_table','user1','professional_data:dept','IT' put 'user_data_table','user1','professional_data:salary','2000' put 'user_data_table','user2','personal_data:FName','CH' put 'user_data_table','user2','personal_data:LName','AK' put 'user_data_table','user2','professional_data:dept','IT' put 'user_data_table','user2','professional_data:salary','80000' Then i specify the snapshot.name to make Hive query Hbase bypasses Hbase server, and directly accesses the underlying files. set hive.hbase.snapshot.name=snapshot-day-1; set hive.hbase.snapshot.restoredir=/tmp; CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE if not exists default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table1(key string, Location string,FName string,LName string, dept string, salary string) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,personal_data:Location,personal_data:FName,personal_data:LName,professional_data:dept,professional_data:salary") TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "user_data_table"); Finally, when i try to load the query result into hive table as below, the result are weirdly, all the value of fields were NULL ,except the row key. #show hbase table data hive> select * from default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table; OK user1 IL Deb D IT 2000 user2 NULL CH AK IT 80000 Time taken: 0.199 seconds, Fetched: 2 row(s) #load the query result into new table hive> create table test as select * from default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table; .... OK #but all the value of fields are NULL ,expect the row key. hive> select * from test; OK user1 NULL NULL NULL NULL user2 NULL NULL NULL NULL And i also try to load data without the param " set hive.hbase.snapshot.name ", now it insert query result into table as i expected. (but in this way ,it was very slow, because HBaseStorageHandler query the hbase with full scan with hbase server api ) CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE if not exists default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table1(key string, Location string,FName string,LName string, dept string,salary string) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,personal_data:Location,personal_data:FName,personal_data:LName,professional_data:dept,professional_data:salary") TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "user_data_table"); create table test1 as select * from default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table; select * from test1; OK user1 IL Deb D IT 2000 user2 NULL CH AK IT 80000 the snapshot feature link: I also tried to specify the hive.hbase.snapshot.name in TBLPROPERTIES as TBLPROPERTIES ("hive.hbase.snapshot.name"="snapshot-day-1") instead of hbase.table.name in TBLPROPERTIES ,but the hive query request the Hbase region server API instead of access the underline file directly. I looked the HbaseStorageHandler source code, it choose whether or not use the HbaseSnapshot by judging the hive conf property (HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVE_HBASE_SNAPSHOT_NAME) So if specify the hive.hbase.snapshot.name in any other place ,it will not available for hive to query hbase with snapshot. And i also changed all the hdfs dir permission to 777,but it still couldn't insert data into hive table,except i didn't use the snapshot. It was weirdly I checked the DEBUG log ,but there is not any error in it. I'm wandering maybe this is a bug about that feature. (the snapshot feature link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8369) Anybody can help me ? ... View more

Hi, we are using CDH  5.16.1 ,hbase-1.2.0,hive 1.1.0  . I'm trying to load hbase data into hive, but i got an issue when i use hbase snapshot, it only load the row key into hive table. But if i donn't use the snapshot, HbaseStorageHandler can successfully load data into new hive table. Here are steps i took:   first i  have created a hbase table:   create 'user_data_table','personal_data','professional_data';   Then I inserted few records into the table as put 'user_data_table','user1','personal_data:Location','IL' put 'user_data_table','user1','personal_data:FName','Deb' put 'user_data_table','user1','personal_data:LName','D' put 'user_data_table','user1','professional_data:dept','IT' put 'user_data_table','user1','professional_data:salary','2000' put 'user_data_table','user2','personal_data:FName','CH' put 'user_data_table','user2','personal_data:LName','AK' put 'user_data_table','user2','professional_data:dept','IT' put 'user_data_table','user2','professional_data:salary','80000'   Then i specify the  snapshot.name to make Hive query Hbase bypasses HBase servers, and directly accesses the underlying files. set hive.hbase.snapshot.name=snapshot-day-1; set hive.hbase.snapshot.restoredir=/tmp; CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE if not exists default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table1(key string, Location string,FName string,LName string, dept string,salary string) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,personal_data:Location,personal_data:FName,personal_data:LName,professional_data:dept,professional_data:salary") TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "user_data_table");     when i try to load the query result into hive table as below, the result are  weirdly,all the value of fields are NULL ,except the row key.     #show hbase table data hive> select * from default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table; OK user1 IL Deb D IT 2000 user2 NULL CH AK IT 80000 Time taken: 0.199 seconds, Fetched: 2 row(s) #load the query result into new table hive> create table test as select * from default.hbase_user_data_snapshot1_table; ....
