The HBase connector will crawl content from an HBase Server. 

Features

Some of the features of the HBase connector include:

• Extracts data from HBase.
• Configurable namespace and prefix.
• Kerberos authentication.

Content Retrieved

The HBase connector retrieves the content as stored in the objectData field of the table in the HBase server.

Limitations 

Due to API limitations, HBase connector has the following limitations:

• It expects an established structure on the table to crawl:
  
  • id: MD5 id of the document
  • humanName: The document id in a human readable form.
  • createdTimestamp: The timestamp of when the document was created.
  • updatedTimestamp: The timestamp of when the document was last updated.
  • crawlTimestamp: The timestamp of when the document was crawled.
  • objectData: The Aspire Object in json format that has the content of the document.
  • binaryFilepath: The path of the document binary file.
• Incremental crawls are not supported at the moment.
