Hi all,

Does phoenix work only with HBase or does it also work with Accumulo?

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

                You mapped the HBase table using the below statement,

CREATE VIEW "t1" ( pk VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY, "f1".val VARCHAR );

                By default, Phoenix sends characters in capital letter, so here second column of view is mapped to the qualifier “f1:VAL”.

But  you inserted records at HBase in “f1:val” instead of “f1:VAL” as,

r1   column=f1:val, timestamp=1396558762590, value=a

                So NULL value is displayed in VAL column at Phoenix side.  

You can map as "f1".”val” to resolve this or insert records in “f1:VAL”.

Cheers,

Pankaj

Subject: Basic mapping to HBase table

Hi all,

I spent a couple of hours today trying phoenix for the first time, looks amazing.

My final objective is to do SQL on a big hbase table that has a composite key, i decided to start slow and I was able to create a table on phoenix, upsert values and see them on hbase, but I am not able to do the oposite: map (using a view) values on an existing hbase to a phoenix table, i am always getting "null" values.

Here is a basic example copied from the docs:

HBASE:

> create 't1', {NAME => 'f1', VERSIONS => 5} 

PHOENIX:

> CREATE VIEW "t1" ( pk VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY, "f1".val VARCHAR );
> select * from "t1";
+------------+------------+
|     PK     |    VAL     |
+------------+------------+
+------------+------------+ 

Works fine since there is no data.

I add data to hbase:

> put 't1,'r1','f1','a'

> scan 't1'

ROW                                           COLUMN+CELL

 r1                                           column=f1:, timestamp=1396558806334, value=a

But if i try to select from phoenix i get only null values.:

> select * from "t1";

+------------+------------+

|     PK     |    VAL     |

+------------+------------+

| r1         | null       |

+------------+------------+

I also tried to save it on an specific column in the column family:

> scan 't1'

ROW                                           COLUMN+CELL

 r1                                           column=f1:, timestamp=1396558806334, value=a

 r1                                           column=f1:val, timestamp=1396558762590, value=a

I also tried to change from varchar to integer and insert numbers but i got the same result in both cases.

I am using phoenix 2.2.0 on EMR.

Any help you can give me is appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniel
