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.
