HBase 为用户提供了一个非常方便的使用方式, 我们称之为“HBase Shell”。
HBase Shell 提供了大多数的 HBase 命令, 通过 HBase Shell 用户可以方便地创建、删除及修改表, 还可以向表中添加数据、列出表中的相关信息等。
鉴于网上大多数的相关归纳资源不全或者比较乱，现自己归纳一份作为备份。
测试的hbase系统版本为：Version 1.2.0-cdh5.9.0，在通过使用hbase shell进入hbase时显示，也可以使用稍后说明的命令version进行查看http://www.cnblogs.com/husky/p/6374867.html
1 [husky@master ~]$ hbase shell
HBase Shell; enter 'help<RETURN>' for list of supported commands. Type "exit<RETURN>" to leave the HBase Shell Version 1.2.0-cdh5.9.0, rUnknown, Fri Oct 21 01:19:47 PDT 2016
shell命令按照分类进行说明，分类标准依据系统
1 hbase(main):001:0> help
1 HBase Shell, version 1.2.0-cdh5.9.0, rUnknown, Fri Oct 21 01:19:47 PDT 2016 2 Type 'help "COMMAND"', (e.g. 'help "get"' -- the quotes are necessary) for help on a specific command. 3 Commands are grouped. Type 'help "COMMAND_GROUP"', (e.g. 'help "general"') for help on a command group. 4 5 COMMAND GROUPS: 6 Group name: general 7 Commands: status, table_help, version, whoami 8 9 Group name: ddl 10 Commands: alter, alter_async, alter_status, create, describe, disable, disable_all, drop, drop_all, enable, enable_all, exists, get_table, is_disabled, is_enabled, list, locate_region, show_filters 11 12 Group name: namespace 13 Commands: alter_namespace, create_namespace, describe_namespace, drop_namespace, list_namespace, list_namespace_tables 14 15 Group name: dml 16 Commands: append, count, delete, deleteall, get, get_counter, get_splits, incr, put, scan, truncate, truncate_preserve 17 18 Group name: tools 19 Commands: assign, balance_switch, balancer, balancer_enabled, catalogjanitor_enabled, catalogjanitor_run, catalogjanitor_switch, close_region, compact, compact_mob, compact_rs, flush, major_compact, major_compact_mob, merge_region, move, normalize, normalizer_enabled, normalizer_switch, split, trace, unassign, wal_roll, zk_dump 20 21 Group name: replication 22 Commands: add_peer, append_peer_tableCFs, disable_peer, disable_table_replication, enable_peer, enable_table_replication, list_peers, list_replicated_tables, remove_peer, remove_peer_tableCFs, set_peer_tableCFs, show_peer_tableCFs 23 24 Group name: snapshots 25 Commands: clone_snapshot, delete_all_snapshot, delete_snapshot, list_snapshots, restore_snapshot, snapshot 26 27 Group name: configuration 28 Commands: update_all_config, update_config 29 30 Group name: quotas 31 Commands: list_quotas, set_quota 32 33 Group name: security 34 Commands: grant, list_security_capabilities, revoke, user_permission 35 36 Group name: procedures 37 Commands: abort_procedure, list_procedures 38 39 Group name: visibility labels 40 Commands: add_labels, clear_auths, get_auths, list_labels, set_auths, set_visibility 41 42 SHELL USAGE: 43 Quote all names in HBase Shell such as table and column names. Commas delimit 44 command parameters. Type <RETURN> after entering a command to run it. 45 Dictionaries of configuration used in the creation and alteration of tables are 46 Ruby Hashes. They look like this: 47 48 {'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', ...} 49 50 and are opened and closed with curley-braces. Key/values are delimited by the 51 '=>' character combination. Usually keys are predefined constants such as 52 NAME, VERSIONS, COMPRESSION, etc. Constants do not need to be quoted. Type 53 'Object.constants' to see a (messy) list of all constants in the environment. 54 55 If you are using binary keys or values and need to enter them in the shell, use 56 double-quote'd hexadecimal representation. For example: 57 58 hbase> get 't1', "key\x03\x3f\xcd" 59 hbase> get 't1', "key\003\023\011" 60 hbase> put 't1', "test\xef\xff", 'f1:', "\x01\x33\x40" 61 62 The HBase shell is the (J)Ruby IRB with the above HBase-specific commands added. 63 For more on the HBase Shell, see http://hbase.apache.org/book.html
