How-to: Use the Apache HBase REST Interface, Part 2 by Jesse Anderson.
From the post:
This how-to is the second in a series that explores the use of the Apache HBase REST interface. Part 1 covered HBase REST fundamentals, some Python caveats, and table administration. Part 2 below will show you how to insert multiple rows at once using XML and JSON. The full code samples can be found on GitHub.
Only fair to cover both XML and TBL’s new favorite, JSON. (Tim Berners-Lee Renounces XML?)
