a quick and dirty HBase.Stargate.Client usage sample

0-intro.md

Here's how to get the Stargate client registered with Autofac... once you have an IContainer, you'll be able to resolve instances of IStargate wherever you need...

1-container.cs

private static IContainer CreateContainer(string serverUrl)
{
	var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
	builder.RegisterModule(new StargateModule(new StargateOptions
	{
		ServerUrl = serverUrl
	}));
	return builder.Build();
}

Now, all you have to do is create the container and ask for an IStargate instance.

3-resolve-stargate.cs

var container = CreateContainer("http://hbase.server.com:9999");
var stargate = container.Resolve<IStargate>();

And then you can create tables, write to them, scan them, destroy them... and more. Have fun!

5-usage.cs

string table = "test";

stargate.CreateTable(new TableSchema
{
  Name = table,
  Columns = new List<ColumnSchema>
  {
    new ColumnSchema{ Name = "alpha" },
    new ColumnSchema{ Name = "beta" },
    new ColumnSchema{ Name = "gamma" },
    new ColumnSchema{ Name = "zeta" }
  }
});

string row = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N").Substring(0, 7);
stargate.WriteValue("foo", table, row, "alpha");
stargate.WriteValue("bar", table, row, "beta");
stargate.WriteValue("rab", table, row, "gamma");
stargate.WriteValue("oof", table, row, "zeta");

// only get the alpha / beta columns
var scannerOptions = new ScannerOptions
{
  TableName = table,
  Filter = new MultipleColumnPrefixFilter{ "a", "b" }
};

using(IScanner scanner = stargate.CreateScanner(scannerOptions))
{
  foreach(CellSet result in scanner)
  {
    /** process results **/
  }
} // scanner auto-deletes when disposed

stargate.DeleteTable(table);
