--------------------------------
Thanks John. My username is "xodarap" (same as Jira).
> HBase bulk load wiki page improvements
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-2590
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2590
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation, HBase Handler
> Reporter: Ben West
> Assignee: Ben West
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: wiki
>
> Some suggestions on the page
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HBaseBulkLoad which seems
> kind of out of date:
> 1. It seems like it's required that the number of reduce tasks in the "Sort
> Data" phase be one more than the number of keys selected in the "Range
> Partitioning" step, or else you get an error like this:
> Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't read partitions file
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.TotalOrderPartitioner.configure(TotalOrderPartitioner.java:91)
> ... 15 more
> Caused by: java.io.IOException: Wrong number of partitions in keyset
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.TotalOrderPartitioner.configure(TotalOrderPartitioner.java:72)
> ... 15 more
> If so, it would be helpful if this was explicitly pointed out.
> 2. It recommends that you should use the "loadtable" ruby script to put data
> into hbase, but if you run this on newer versions of HBase (e.g. 0.90.3) it
> errors:
> DISABLED!!!! Use completebulkload instead. See tail of
> http://hbase.apache.org/bulk-loads.html
> The instructions should probably be changed to use completebulkload instead
> of this script.
