HBase Bulkupload either can accept key-value-pairs, Puts or Deletes.

I assume Deletes is for deleting rows on mass. How about Puts? Is puts just for updating a cell value where as key-value-pairs is for inserting an entire row?

Just to be clear the question is in the context of bulk-upload...what is the difference between bulk-uploading key-value pairs as oppose to bulkuploading puts?

It looks like when bulk-uploading Put, the org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.PutSortReducer will internally convert the puts to KeyValue. Then what is the point of Put? Why not just use KeyValue to begin with?

  • Puts are also for on mass. for ex: table.batch() or htable.put(List puts) Puts some data in the table, in batch. see https://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/Table.html – Ram Ghadiyaram Jan 31 '17 at 10:56
