I'm looking into creating HFiles directly from NiFi using the HBase API. It seems pretty straight forward:
1. Open a HFile.Writer pointing to a file path in HDFS. 2. Write the cells with the HFile API. 3. Call the incremental loader API to have it tell HBase to load the generated segments. Is that right? If so, are there any gotchas that I should be aware of? Thanks, Mike
