Test with HBase 0.98 (and add compat mode)

[wbolster]

Happybase works fine with HBase 0.98 but does not support newly introduced features.

Implementing these new features (with proper tests) would be a nice to have.

Yeah !! facing same issue

[wbolster]

Well, perhaps you could run the test suite against 0.98 and report on the results...

I am using happybase-0.9, and in it's connection.py I can see option is available for
COMPAT_MODES = ('0.90', '0.92', '0.94', '0.96'),
not for 0.98. So it is giving me error there. Do we have any alternatives ?

[wbolster]

just use 0.96

Is there any replacement available for happybase at the moment?
Looking for such tool for HBase v.0.98 and newer .. :/

[wbolster]

what makes you think you need a replacement? have you tried at all?

Yep, I've tried ofc. At the moment HappyBase works smoothly, but I'm looking to the future.
Since u said that HB is no more supported it looks not pretty wise to use it in serious production -____-

[wbolster]

I'm not sure where you got that happybase is supposedly "no more supported".

HBase Thrift is a stable interface, and Happybase targets that interface. What "supported in happybase" means is basically that it wraps most of the features that the Thrift API offers, and that it has been tested. Newer HBase versions may add new features, which may not be accessible from happybase since they haven't been implemented in happybase (yet).

Anyway, since the HBase Thrift API is stable, current happybase versions will work just fine with newer hbase versions.

Having a "0.98" compat mode in the code that really doesn't do anything than it would do with "0.96" would just be marketing.

[wbolster]

For clarity: Happybase does work with HBase 0.98 just fine. 0.98-only features have not been added, that's all.

I got info about support from http://happybase.readthedocs.org/
Exactly, "You should know that I don’t use HappyBase myself anymore". Seems I misunderstood that point :)

[wbolster]

well i don't use all the software i ever wrote nowadays, doesn't mean it doesn't work anymore. ;)

[wbolster]

while happybase worked fine against hbase 0.98 when using the 0.96 compat mode, there is now a real 0.98 compat mode (see #155). closing this.
