stack commented on HADOOP-2068:
-------------------------------
See the master UI at http://MASTER:PORT (default is localhost:60000). On the
master homepage, there is a HQL link that does read-only queries against tables
making best effort at outputting results in XHTML (Maybe this is good enough to
get you going?).
We could Base64 the data. We could also tie a boat anchor to the server too as
a means of slowing it down (smile). I suppose the RESTful way to do it is
just allow clients say what they can accept in request headers (Don't know if
you can stipulate xml with base64 encoded content via http request headers).
If the server has support, do as the client asks.
> [hbase] RESTful interface
> -------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-2068
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2068
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib/hbase
> Reporter: stack
> Priority: Minor
>
> A RESTful interface would be one means of making hbase accessible to clients
> that are not java. It might look something like the below:
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/ outputs the master's attributes: online
> meta regions, list of tables, etc.: i.e. what you see now when you go to
> http://MASTER:PORT/master.jsp.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME: 200 if tables exists and
> HTableDescription (mimetype: text/plain or text/xml) or 401 if no such table.
> HTTP DELETE would drop the table. HTTP PUT would add one.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW: 200 if row exists and 401
> if not.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNFAMILY:
> HColumnDescriptor (mimetype: text/plain or text/xml) or 401 if no such table.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNNAME/: 200 and latest
> version (mimetype: binary/octet-stream) or 401 if no such cell. HTTP DELETE
> would delete the cell. HTTP PUT would add a new version.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNNAME/TIMESTAMP: 200
> (mimetype: binary/octet-stream) or 401 if no such cell. HTTP DELETE would
> remove. HTTP PUT would put this record.
> + Browser originally goes against master but master then redirects to the
> hosting region server to serve, update, delete, etc. the addressed cell
