Friendlier CLI frontend for HBase

About:

Going around HBase’s console program and also Thrift interface by using Jython as a CLI frontend:

HBase, the well known non-relational distributed database, comes with a console program to perform various operations on a HBase cluster. I’ve personally found this tool to be a bit limited and I’ve toyed around the idea of writing my own. Since HBase only comes with a Java driver for direct access and the various RPC interfaces such as Thrift don’t offer the full set of functions over HBase, I decided to go for Jython and to directly use the Java API. This article will show a mock-up of such a tool.
