SpyGlass
========

Cascading and Scalding wrapper for HBase with advanced read and write features.

Prevent Hot Spotting by the use of transparent key prefixes.

Building
========

	$ mvn clean install -U
	
	Requires Maven 3.x.x
	

1. Read Mode Features
=====================

HBaseSource supports modes namely **GET_LIST**, **SCAN_RANGE** and **SCAN_ALL**. Use the **_sourceMode_** parameter to select the source mode.

  - **GET_LIST** -> Provide a list of keys to retrieve from the HBase table
  - **SCAN_RANGE** -> Provide a start and stop key (inclusive) to get out of the HBase table.
  - **SCAN_ALL** -> Get all rows form the HBase Table
  
GET_LIST
--------
Requires the **_keyList_** parameter to be specified as well.

(e.g.)

	val hbs2 = new HBaseSource(
	    "table_name",
	    "quorum_name:2181",
	    'key,
	    Array("column_family"),
	    Array('column_name),
	    sourceMode = SourceMode.GET_LIST, keyList = List("5003914", "5000687", "5004897"))
	    
	    
Additionally, the **_versions_** parameter can be used to retrieve more than one version of the row. 

(e.g.)

	val hbs2 = new HBaseSource(
	    "table_name",
	    "quorum_name:2181",
	    'key,
	    Array("column_family"),
	    Array('column_name),
	    sourceMode = SourceMode.GET_LIST,
	    versions = 5, 
	    keyList = List("5003914", "5000687", "5004897"))
	
	    
SCAN_RANGE
----------
Scan range uses the optional **_startKey_** and **_stopKey_** parameters to specify the range of keys to extract; both keys are inclusive. 

if:
 - Only **_startKey_** provided -> All rows from **_startKey_** till **END OF TABLE** are returned
 - Only **_stopKey_** provided -> All rows from **START OF TABLE** till **_stopKey_** are returned
 - Neither provided -> All rows in table are returned.
 
(e.g.)

	  val hbs4 = new HBaseSource(
	    "table_name",
	    "quorum_name:2181",
	    'key,
	    Array("column_family"),
	    Array('column_name),
	    sourceMode = SourceMode.SCAN_RANGE, stopKey = "5003914")
	    .read
	    .write(Tsv(output.format("scan_range_to_end")))
	
	  val hbs5 = new HBaseSource(
	    "table_name",
	    "quorum_name:2181",
	    'key,
	    Array("column_family"),
	    Array('column_name),
	    sourceMode = SourceMode.SCAN_RANGE, startKey = "5003914")
	    .read
	    .write(Tsv(output.format("scan_range_from_start")))
	
	  val hbs6 = new HBaseSource(
	    "table_name",
	    "quorum_name:2181",
	    'key,
	    Array("column_family"),
	    Array('column_name),
	    sourceMode = SourceMode.SCAN_RANGE, startKey = "5003914", stopKey = "5004897")
	    .read
	    .write(Tsv(output.format("scan_range_between")))
 
 
SCAN_ALL
--------
Returns all rows in the table

(e.g.)

	val hbs2 = new HBaseSource(
	    "table_name",
	    "quorum_name:2181",
	    'key,
	    Array("column_family"),
	    Array('column_name),
	    sourceMode = SourceMode.SCAN_ALL)


2. Write Mode Features
======================

HBaseSource supports writing at a particular time stamp i.e. a version. 

The time dimension can be added to the row by using the **_timestamp_** parameter. If the parameter is not present the current time is used.

(e.g.)
   
	pipe.write(new HBaseSource( "table_name",
		"quorum_name:2181",
		'key,  
	   TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => "data").toArray, 
	   TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => new Fields(x.name)).toArray,
	   timestamp = Platform.currentTime ))
	

3. Region Hot Spot Prevention
=============================

Region hot spotting is a common problem with HBase. Spy Glass uses key prefix salting to avoid this. 
The row key is prefixed with the last byte followed by a '_' (underscore) character.

(e.g.)

	Original Row Key   ->  Becomes
	SPYGLASS           ->  S_SPYGLASS
	12345678           ->  8_12345678

Conversion to and from salted keys is done automatically.

Setting the **_useSalt_** parameter to **true** enables this functionality


(e.g.)

	  val TABLE_SCHEMA = List('key, 'salted, 'unsalted)
	
	  val hbase07 = 
	  new HBaseSource( "table_name",
		"quorum_name:2181", 'key,  
	      TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => "data").toArray, 
	      TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => new Fields(x.name)).toArray,
	      sourceMode = SourceMode.SCAN_RANGE, startKey = "11445", stopKey = "11455", 
	      useSalt = true, prefixList = "0123456789" )
	  .read
	  
	  // Convert from ImmutableBytesWritable to String 
	  .fromBytesWritable( TABLE_SCHEMA )
	
	  .write(TextLine("saltTesting/ScanRangePlusSalt10"))
	
	  // Convert from String to ImmutableBytesWritable 
	  .toBytesWritable( TABLE_SCHEMA )
	
	  .write(new HBaseSource( "table_name",
	    	"quorum_name:2181", 'key,  
	          TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => "data").toArray, 
	          TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => new Fields(x.name)).toArray,
	          useSalt = true ))
	          
	
Setting the **_prefixList_** parameter to the available prefixes can increase the read performance quite a bit. 

4. Pipe Conversion Implicits
============================

HBaseSource will always read or write fields of type **_ImmutableBytesWritable_**. The supplied **_HBasePipeConversions_** trait is used to convert to and from **_String_** to **_ImmutableBytesWritable_**

Add the trait to the job class and start using the conversions in the pipe directly

(e.g.)

	class HBaseSaltTester (args: Args) extends JobBase(args) with HBasePipeConversions {
	  val TABLE_SCHEMA = List('key, 'salted, 'unsalted)

	  val hbase07 = 
      new HBaseSource( "table_name",
    	"quorum_name:2181", 'key,  
          TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => "data").toArray, 
          TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => new Fields(x.name)).toArray,
          sourceMode = SourceMode.SCAN_RANGE, startKey = "11445", stopKey = "11455", 
          useSalt = true, prefixList = "0123456789" )
	  .read
	  
	  // Convert from ImmutableBytesWritable to String 
	  .fromBytesWritable( TABLE_SCHEMA )
	
	  .write(TextLine("saltTesting/ScanRangePlusSalt10"))
	
	  // Convert from String to ImmutableBytesWritable 
	  .toBytesWritable( TABLE_SCHEMA )
	
	  .write(new HBaseSource( "table_name",
	    	"quorum_name:2181", 'key,  
	          TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => "data").toArray, 
	          TABLE_SCHEMA.tail.map((x: Symbol) => new Fields(x.name)).toArray,
	          useSalt = true ))
	}
