Commands Available on HBase Shell


Groups of commands and explanation :
  1. General Commands:
    1. status : Shows server status, example
        1 servers, 0 dead, 10.0000 average load
    2. version : Shows version of hbase
        0.90.4, r1150278, Sun Jul 24 15:53:29 PDT 2011
  2. DDL Commands:
    1. alter : Using this commmand you can alter the table
Alter column family schema; pass table name and a dictionary
specifying new column family schema. Dictionaries are described
on the main help command output. Dictionary must include name
of column family to alter. For example,
To change or add the 'f1' column family in table 't1' from defaults
to instead keep a maximum of 5 cell VERSIONS, do:
hbase> alter 't1', NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5
To delete the 'f1' column family in table 't1', do:
hbase> alter 't1', NAME => 'f1', METHOD => 'delete'
or a shorter version:
hbase> alter 't1', 'delete' => 'f1'
You can also change table-scope attributes like MAX_FILESIZE
MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE, READONLY, and DEFERRED_LOG_FLUSH.
For example, to change the max size of a family to 128MB, do:
hbase> alter 't1', METHOD => 'table_att', MAX_FILESIZE => '134217728'
There could be more than one alteration in one command:
hbase> alter 't1', {NAME => 'f1'}, {NAME => 'f2', METHOD => 'delete'}
    1. create : create table in hbase
Create table; pass table name, a dictionary of specifications per
column family, and optionally a dictionary of table configuration.
Dictionaries are described below in the GENERAL NOTES section.
Examples:
hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5}
hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1'}, {NAME => 'f2'}, {NAME => 'f3'}
hbase> # The above in shorthand would be the following:
hbase> create 't1', 'f1', 'f2', 'f3'
hbase> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 1, TTL => 2592000, BLOCKCACHE => true}
    1. describe : Gives table Description
        Describe the named table. For example:
        hbase> describe 't1'
    2. disable : Start disable of named table:
e.g. "hbase> disable 't1'"
    1. drop : Drop the named table.
Table must first be disabled. If table has
more than one region, run a major compaction on .META.:
hbase> major_compact ".META."
    1. enable : Start enable of named table
e.g. "hbase> enable 't1'"
    1. exists : Does the named table exist? e.g. "hbase> exists 't1'"
    2. is_disabled : Check if table is disabled
    3. is_enabled : Check if table is enabled
    4. list : List out all the tables present in hbase
  1. DML Commands:
    1. count :
Count the number of rows in a table. This operation may take a LONG
time (Run '$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop jar hbase.jar rowcount' to run a
counting mapreduce job). Current count is shown every 1000 rows by
default. Count interval may be optionally specified. Scan caching
is enabled on count scans by default. Default cache size is 10 rows.
If your rows are small in size, you may want to increase this
parameter. Examples:
hbase> count 't1'
hbase> count 't1', INTERVAL => 100000
hbase> count 't1', CACHE => 1000
hbase> count 't1', INTERVAL => 10, CACHE => 1000
    1. delete
Put a delete cell value at specified table/row/column and optionally
timestamp coordinates. Deletes must match the deleted cell's
coordinates exactly. When scanning, a delete cell suppresses older
versions. To delete a cell from 't1' at row 'r1' under column 'c1'
marked with the time 'ts1', do:
hbase> delete 't1', 'r1', 'c1', ts1
    1. deleteall
Delete all cells in a given row; pass a table name, row, and optionally
a column and timestamp. Examples:
hbase> deleteall 't1', 'r1'
hbase> deleteall 't1', 'r1', 'c1'
hbase> deleteall 't1', 'r1', 'c1', ts1
    1. get
Get row or cell contents; pass table name, row, and optionally
a dictionary of column(s), timestamp, timerange and versions. Examples:
hbase> get 't1', 'r1'
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {TIMERANGE => [ts1, ts2]}
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1'}
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => ['c1', 'c2', 'c3']}
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMESTAMP => ts1}
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMERANGE => [ts1, ts2], VERSIONS => 4}
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', {COLUMN => 'c1', TIMESTAMP => ts1, VERSIONS => 4}
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', 'c1'
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', 'c1', 'c2'
hbase> get 't1', 'r1', ['c1', 'c2']
    1. get_counter
Return a counter cell value at specified table/row/column coordinates.
A cell cell should be managed with atomic increment function oh HBase
and the data should be binary encoded. Example:
hbase> get_counter 't1', 'r1', 'c1'
    1. incr
Increments a cell 'value' at specified table/row/column coordinates.
To increment a cell value in table 't1' at row 'r1' under column
'c1' by 1 (can be omitted) or 10 do:
hbase> incr 't1', 'r1', 'c1'
hbase> incr 't1', 'r1', 'c1', 1
hbase> incr 't1', 'r1', 'c1', 10
    1. put
Put a cell 'value' at specified table/row/column and optionally
timestamp coordinates. To put a cell value into table 't1' at
row 'r1' under column 'c1' marked with the time 'ts1', do:
hbase> put 't1', 'r1', 'c1', 'value', ts1
    1. scan
Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner
specifications. Scanner specifications may include one or more of:
TIMERANGE, FILTER, LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, MAXLENGTH,
or COLUMNS. If no columns are specified, all columns will be scanned.
To scan all members of a column family, leave the qualifier empty as in
'col_family:'.
Some examples:
hbase> scan '.META.'
hbase> scan '.META.', {COLUMNS => 'info:regioninfo'}
hbase> scan 't1', {COLUMNS => ['c1', 'c2'], LIMIT => 10, STARTROW => 'xyz'}
hbase> scan 't1', {FILTER => org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.ColumnPaginationFilter.new(1, 0)}
hbase> scan 't1', {COLUMNS => 'c1', TIMERANGE => [1303668804, 1303668904]}
For experts, there is an additional option -- CACHE_BLOCKS -- which
switches block caching for the scanner on (true) or off (false). By
default it is enabled. Examples:
hbase> scan 't1', {COLUMNS => ['c1', 'c2'], CACHE_BLOCKS => false}
    1. truncate
Scan a table; pass table name and optionally a dictionary of scanner
specifications. Scanner specifications may include one or more of:
TIMERANGE, FILTER, LIMIT, STARTROW, STOPROW, TIMESTAMP, MAXLENGTH,
or COLUMNS. If no columns are specified, all columns will be scanned.

hbase> scan 't1', {FILTER => org.apache.hadoop.hbase.filter.ColumnPaginationFilter.new(1, 0)}
hbase> scan 't1', {COLUMNS => 'c1', TIMERANGE => [1303668804, 1303668904]}

hbase(main):025:0> truncate
ERROR: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
Here is some help for this command:
Disables, drops and recreates the specified table.
  1. Tools Commands:
    1. assign
Assign a region. Add 'true' to force assign of a region. Use with caution.
If region already assigned, this command will just go ahead and reassign
the region anyways. For experts only.
    1. balance_switch
Assign a region. Add 'true' to force assign of a region. Use with caution.
If region already assigned, this command will just go ahead and reassign
the region anyways. For experts only.
hbase(main):027:0> balance_switch
ERROR: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
Here is some help for this command:
Enable/Disable balancer. Returns previous balancer state.
Examples:
hbase> balance_switch true
hbase> balance_switch false
    1. balancer :
      This will show if the balancer for hbase is enabled or not, hbase has a built-in feature that is called balancer, which by default runs every 5 minutes, and once started will try to equal out the assigned region, per reason servers.
    2. close_region :
Close a single region. Optionally specify regionserver. Connects to the
regionserver and runs close on hosting regionserver. The close is done
without the master's involvement (It will not know of the close). Once
closed, region will stay closed. Use assign to reopen/reassign. Use
unassign or move to assign the region elsewhere on cluster. Use with
caution. For experts only. Examples:
hbase> close_region 'REGIONNAME'
hbase> close_region 'REGIONNAME', 'REGIONSERVER_IP:PORT'
    1. compact :
Compact all regions in passed table or pass a region row to compact an individual region
    1. flush
Flush all regions in passed table or pass a region row to
flush an individual region. For example:
hbase> flush 'TABLENAME'
hbase> flush 'REGIONNAME'
    1. major_compact :
Run major compaction on passed table or pass a region row to major compact an individual region
    1. move
Move a region. Optionally specify target regionserver else we choose one
at random. NOTE: You pass the encoded region name, not the region name so
this command is a little different to the others. The encoded region name
is the hash suffix on region names: e.g. if the region name were
TestTable,0094429456,1289497600452.527db22f95c8a9e0116f0cc13c680396. then
the encoded region name portion is 527db22f95c8a9e0116f0cc13c680396
A server name is its host, port plus startcode. For example:
host187.example.com,60020,1289493121758
Examples:
hbase> move 'ENCODED_REGIONNAME'
hbase> move 'ENCODED_REGIONNAME', 'SERVER_NAME'
    1. split
Split table or pass a region row to split individual region
    1. unassign : unssign the region server.
    2. zk_dump : Dump status of HBase cluster as seen by ZooKeeper.
HBase is rooted at /hbase

  1. Replication Commands:
    1. add_peer :
Add a peer cluster to replicate to, the id must be a short and
the cluster key is composed like this:
hbase.zookeeper.quorum:hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort:zookeeper.znode.parent
This gives a full path for HBase to connect to another cluster.
Examples:
hbase> add_peer '1', "server1.cie.com:2181:/hbase"
hbase> add_peer '2', "zk1,zk2,zk3:2182:/hbase-prod"
    1. disable_peer :
Stops the replication stream to the specified cluster, but still
keeps track of new edits to replicate.
CURRENTLY UNSUPPORTED
Examples:
hbase> disable_peer '1'
    1. enable_peer
Restarts the replication to the specified peer cluster,
continuing from where it was disabled.
CURRENTLY UNSUPPORTED
Examples:
hbase> enable_peer '1'
    1. remove_peer
Stops the specified replication stream and deletes all the meta
information kept about it. Examples:
hbase> remove_peer '1'
    1. start_replication
Restarts all the replication features. The state in which each
stream starts in is undetermined.
WARNING:
start/stop replication is only meant to be used in critical load situations.
Examples:
hbase> start_replication
    1. stop_replication
Stops all the replication features. The state in which each
stream stops in is undetermined.
WARNING:
start/stop replication is only meant to be used in critical load situations.
Examples:
hbase> stop_replication
