Camel and HBase
When using a datasotre inside a camel route, there is always the chalenge of specifying how the camel message will stored to the datastore. In document based stores things are more easy as the message body can be directly mapped to a document. In relational databases an ORM solution can be used to map properties to columns etc. In column based stores things are more challenging as there is no standard way to perform that kind of mapping.
HBase adds two additional challenges:
- HBase groups columns into families, so just mapping a property to a column using a name convention is just not enough.
- HBase doesn't have the notion of type, which means that it stores everything as byte[] and doesn't know if the byte[] represents a String, a Number, a serialized Java object or just binary data.
To overcome these challenges, camel-hbase makes use of the message headers to specify the mapping of the message to HBase columns. It also provides the ability to use some camel-hbase provided classes that model HBase data and can be easily convert to and from xml/json etc.
Finally it provides the ability to the user to implement and use his own mapping strategy.
Regardless of the mapping strategy camel-hbase will convert a message into an org.apache.camel.component.hbase.model.HBaseData

a

a

you

for

would

In this case its probable that you also also need to specify a list of filters for limiting the results. You can specify a list of filters as part of the uri and camel will return only the rows that satisfy ALL the filters.
To have a filter that will be aware of the information that is part of the message, camel defines the ModelAwareFilter. This will allow your filter to take into consideration the model that is defined by the message and the mapping strategy.
When using a ModelAwareFilter camel-hbase will apply the selected mapping strategy to the in message, will create an object that models the mapping and will pass that object to the Filter.
For example to perform scan using as criteria the message headers, you can make use of the ModelAwareColumnMatchingFilter as shown below.

HBase Mapping
It was mentioned above that you the default mapping strategies are header and body mapping.
Below you can find some detailed examples of how each mapping strategy works.
HBase Header mapping Examples
The header mapping is the default mapping.
To put the value "myvalue" into HBase row "myrow" and column "myfamily:mycolum" the message should contain the following headers:

Please

note

that

in

order

to

avoid
...
boilerplate
...
headers
...
that
...
are
...
considered
...
constant
...
for
...
all
...
messages,
...
you
...
can
...
also
...
specify
...
them
...
as

part

of

the

endpoint

uri,
...
as
...
you
...
will
...
see

Examples

In
...
order
...
to
...
use
...
the
...
body
...
mapping
...
strategy
...
you
...
will
...
have
...
to
...
specify
...
the
...
option
...
mappingStrategy
...
as
...
part
...
of
...
the
...
uri,
...
for
...
example:
Code Block |
---|
} hbase:mytable?mappingStrategy=body {code} |
To
...
use
...
the
...
body
...
mapping
...
strategy
...
the
...
body
...
needs
...
to
...
contain
...
an
...
instance
...
of
...
org.apache.camel.component.hbase.model.HBaseData.
...
You
...
can
...
construct
...
t
Code Block |
---|
} HBaseData data = new HBaseData(); HBaseRow row = new HBaseRow(); row.setId("myRowId"); HBaseCell cell = new HBaseCell(); cell.setFamily("myfamily"); cell.setQualifier("myqualifier"); cell.setValue("myValue"); row.getCells().add(cell); data.addRows().add(row); {code} |
The
...
object
...
above
...
can
...
be
...
used
...
for
...
example
...
in
...
a
...
put
...
operation
...
and
...
will
...
result
...
in
...
creating
...
or
...
updating
...
the
...
row
...
with
...
id
...
myRowId
...
and
...
add
...
the
...
value
...
myvalue
...
to
...
the
...
column
...
myfamily:myqualifier.
...
The
...
body
...
mapping
...
strategy
...
might
...
not
...
seem
...
very
...
appealing
...
at
...
first.
...
The
...
advantage
...
it
...
has
...
over
...
the
...
header
...
mapping
...
strategy
...
is
...
that
...
the
...
HBaseData
...
object
...
can
...
be
...
easily
...
converted
...
to
...
or
...
from
...
xml/json.
