In my continued fooling around with various key-value stores I’ve finally come across HBase. Naturally, since I do my day-to-day programming in Ruby I wanted to setup some basic examples. Though HBase does support a RESTful interface I thought I would get the Thrift interface working for some better throughput.
If you need help Thrift running take a look at my post on Cassandra’s thrift interface that has all the prerequisites listed.
The example assumes a table “t1″ and a column “f1″.
