Jim Kellerman commented on HADOOP-2329: --------------------------------------- Edward, > But, i don't know the movements opposed to shell operations. I don't think there is opposition to what you are doing, other than some people feel that the advanced shell operations are not necessary in a basic shell that can do simple queries and administrative functions. If the advanced features could be packaged in a separate jar and loaded via some command line option, I think it would gain higher acceptance. > I think there can be no cause for complaint. > The shell tool isn't threatening a pure Hbase. I think I am misunderstanding something here. Are you proposing to do the data types entirely outside of HBase or leveraging HADOOP-2197 ? Or do you want internal support for data types? If you are thinking of the former, that's fine. But I don't think support for data types should be in the core of HBase. > [Hbase Shell] Addition of Built-In Value Data Types for efficient accessing > and stroing data > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2329 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2329 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: contrib/hbase > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Edward Yoon > Assignee: Edward Yoon > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > > A built-in data type is a fundamental data type that the hbase shell defines. > (character strings, scalars, ranges, arrays, ... , etc) > If you need a specialized data type that is not currently provided as a > built-in type, > you are encouraged to write your own user-defined data type using UDC(not yet > implemented). > (or contribute it for distribution in a future release of hbase shell) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
