Flume: hbase sink

flume.conf

a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.channel = ch1
a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.type = hbase
a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.table = users
a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.columnFamily= info
a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.serializer=org.apache.flume.sink.hbase.RegexHbaseEventSerializer
a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.serializer.regex=^(.+)\t(.+)\t(.+)$
a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.serializer.colNames=ROW_KEY,name,email
a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.serializer.rowKeyIndex=0
a1.sinks.hbase-sink1.serializer.depositHeaders=true

Note

A:In order to using rowKey, you should configure  rowKeyIndex=0   and  colNames=ROW_KEY.....  where in you post Josn data, rowkey must be the first filed. 

B: If you want to put the headers info of your json post, you must set depositHeaders=true

a1.sources.http-source1.channels = ch1
a1.sources.http-source1.type = http
a1.sources.http-source1.bind = 0.0.0.0
a1.sources.http-source1.port = 5140
a1.sources.http-source1.handler = org.apache.flume.source.http.JSONHandler

a1.channels = ch1
a1.sources = http-source1
a1.sinks = hbase-sink1

Hbase

#hbase shell

>create 'users' 'info'

Curl post json

curl -i -H 'content-type: application/json' -X POST 
-d '[{"headers":{"userId":"9","name":"ZhangZiYi","phoneNumber":"1522323222"},
"body":"9\tZhangZiYi\[email protected]"}]' http://192.168.10.204:5140

Hbase result

>scan 'users'

 

Note: the name column, which content comes from headers and boy of JSON, will just overwrite the same content. Acutally, you can specify different column names to save the same content in different cells.
