Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-12946: -------------------------------------- Now that we have abstractions at the client-api level, I think the limiting factor is the map reduce code for writing HFiles. As [~enis] commented in the thread you linked, we should have a separate hbase-storage module that both a hbase-server and hbase-mapreduce modules can depend upon. > Decouple MapReduce pieces from hbase-server > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-12946 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12946 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Lars Francke > > I could not find an existing issue for this. > This has come up multiple times publicly: > * http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.hadoop.hbase.user/41916 > * http://gbif.blogspot.de/2014/11/upgrading-our-cluster-from-cdh4-to-cdh5.html > It'd be great if we could either move the mapreduce pieces to hbase-client or > get a hbase-mapreduce component. Some things seem easy to decouple others not > so much. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
