hi, I used hbase shell these days to store some spatial data and found a bug if you insert into table with column valued ''. For easy understaning, try to run the following instructions in hbase shell:
Hbase> CREATE TABLE park(name , area); Hbase> INSERT INTO park(name, area) values('','1234') where row='1'; Hbase> SELECT * from park; You will get a endless loop while hbase trys to display the contents in table park. I'm using hadoop 1.5.0. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing.
