<h1>hbaserb – HBase Thrift interface for Ruby</h1>
<p>A Ruby thrift lib for interfacing with Hadoop’s HBase</p>
<p>To install:</p>
<pre>gem install hbaserb</pre>
<h2>Basic Usage</h2>
<pre>require 'rubygems'
require 'hbaserb'
client = HBaseRb::Client.new 'localhost'
# create table with two column families
table = client.create_table "test_table", "colfamone", "colfamtwo"
# insert some data
table.mutate_row 'myrow', {'colfamone:myvalue' => 'awesome value'}
# get it
puts t.get('myrow', 'colfamone:myvalue').first.value
# get timestamp
puts t.get('myrow', 'colfamone:myvalue').first.timestamp
# convert binary value to 64 bit integer
t.atomic_increment('myrow', 'colfamtwo:counter')
puts t.get('myrow', 'colfamtwo:counter').first.to_i64
# make a scanner
s = t.create_scanner('myrow', 'colfamnone') { |row|
puts "Columns: #{row.columns.keys}"
}</pre>
