stack updated HADOOP-2068: -------------------------- Attachment: rest-11-28-07.3.patch Removed tabs, unused imports, and minor formatting changes. Also added override of NotSupported so could return messages that tell client why not supported (I was having trouble figuring why my curl upload wasn't working). I did some basic testing. Was able to put, get, scan. Its working good enough for a first version. +1. > [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 > Attachments: rest-11-27-07-v2.patch, rest-11-27-07.3.patc, > rest-11-27-07.patch, rest-11-28-07.2.patch, rest-11-28-07.3.patch, > rest-11-28-07.patch, rest.patch > > > A RESTful interface would be one means of making hbase accessible to clients > that are not java.
