The CData JDBC Driver for HBase enables standards-based access from third-party tools, from wizards in IDEs to data management and analysis tools. This article shows how to connect to HBase using wizards in RazorSQL.
Create a JDBC Data Source for HBase Data
- Open the RazorSQL application and, in the Connections menu, select Add Connection Profile -> Other -> JDBC.
- In the Connection Wizard that appears, set the following properties:
- Driver Location: Set this property to the path to the lib subfolder in the installation directory.
- Driver Class: Set the driver class to cdata.jdbc.apachehbase.ApacheHBaseDriver.
- Username: Enter the username. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)
- Password: Enter the password. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)
JDBC URL: Enter connection parameters. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:apachehbase: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.
Set the Port and Server to connect to Apache HBase.
A typical JDBC URL is the following:
jdbc:apachehbase:Server=127.0.0.1;Port=8080;
-
Set the Port and Server to connect to Apache HBase.
Query HBase Data and Select Tables
After establishing a connection, the wizard will close and the connection will be available in the connections panel. You can then query the tables.
