hbase(main):002:0> help "create" Creates a table. Pass a table name, and a set of column family specifications (at least one), and, optionally, table configuration. Column specification can be a simple string (name), or a dictionary (dictionaries are described below in main help output), necessarily including NAME attribute. Examples:
Create a table with namespace=ns1 and table qualifier=t1 hbase> create 'ns1:t1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}
Create a table with namespace=default and table qualifier=t1 hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1'}, {NAME => 'f2'}, {NAME => 'f3'} hbase> hbase> create 't1', 'f1', 'f2', 'f3' hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 1, TTL => 2592000, BLOCKCACHE => true} hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', CONFIGURATION => {'hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles' => '10'}} hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', IS_MOB => true, MOB_THRESHOLD => 1000000, MOB_COMPACT_PARTITION_POLICY => 'weekly'}
Table configuration options can be put at the end. Examples:
hbase> create 'ns1:t1', 'f1', SPLITS => ['10', '20', '30', '40'] hbase> create 't1', 'f1', SPLITS => ['10', '20', '30', '40'] hbase> create 't1', 'f1', SPLITS_FILE => 'splits.txt', OWNER => 'johndoe' hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}, METADATA => { 'mykey' => 'myvalue' } hbase> hbase> hbase> create 't1', 'f1', {NUMREGIONS => 15, SPLITALGO => 'HexStringSplit'} hbase> create 't1', 'f1', {NUMREGIONS => 15, SPLITALGO => 'HexStringSplit', REGION_REPLICATION => 2, CONFIGURATION => {'hbase.hregion.scan.loadColumnFamiliesOnDemand' => 'true'}} hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', DFS_REPLICATION => 1}
You can also keep around a reference to the created table:
hbase> t1 = create 't1', 'f1'
Which gives you a reference to the table named 't1', on which you can then call methods.
