hbase-native-client
Native client for HBase 0.96
This is a C library that implements a HBase client. It's thread safe and libEv based.
Design Philosphy
Synchronous and Async versions will both be built on the same foundation. The core foundation will be C++. External users wanting a C library will have to choose either async or sync. These libraries will be thin veneers ontop of the C++.
We should try and follow pthreads example as much as possible:
- Consistent naming.
- Opaque pointers as types so that binary compat is easy.
- Simple setup when the defaults are good.
- Attr structs when lots of paramters could be needed.
Naming
All public C files will start with hbase_*.{h, cc}. This is to keep naming conflicts to a minimum. Anything without the hbase_ prefix is assumed to be implementation private.
All C apis and typedefs will be prefixed with hb_.
All typedefs end with _t.
