  • Util.to_bytes :double => 3.14
  • Util.from_bytes :float, bytes'

0.6.4

Performance improvement (experimental)

HBase::Table instance can be set up to cache the interpretations of the column keys using thread-locals which can lead to 3-times faster Put generation in tight loops.

table = hbase[:my_table, cache: true]
# ...
table.close

However, the option is off by default because of the following issues:

1. You should not use it with the tables with unlimited number of columns.
2. Caching does not keep track of the updates of the schema. If you change the schema of an HBase object after you created an HBase::Table object with the cache turned on from it, the object may hold stale information on the types of the columns. HBase::Table#close method will clean up the cache.

0.6.3

• Refactoring
  • Changed HBase::Row#to_h call to return a Hash extended with HBase::Row::HashExtension module which makes it possible to extend the returned Hash by monkey-patching the module
  • HBase::Row::HashExtension overrides #[] method to allow looking up data with both Array and String notation of column keys: [CF, CQ] or CF:CQ
• Hash for describing column and table options can now contain XML entries using additional :config key.

hbase[:my_table].create! :d,
    # HTableDescriptor#setValue
   'MAX_FILESIZE' => 1 << 33,
   :config => {
     # HTableDescriptor#setConfiguration
     'hbase.hstore.compaction.max.size' => 1 << 30
   }

0.6.2

• Removed automatic cleanup of thread-local HTable instances
  • Fixes issue #35
  • Close of individual HTable instance turned out to be unnecessary
    • flushCommits not required as hbase-jruby runs in auto-flush mode
    • No need to close shared connection or its thread pool

0.6.1

• Fixed error on JRuby 1.7.13 (#34)

0.6.0

0.3.3 changes the way null values are handled, and introduces interface for CAS operations. It is strongly advised that you upgrade to 0.3.3 since it contains important fixes.

• PUT will not store null values
