org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.ConnectionFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

@InterfaceAudience.Public
 @InterfaceStability.Evolving
public class ConnectionFactory
extends java.lang.Object

A non-instantiable class that manages creation of Connections. Managing the lifecycle of the Connections to the cluster is the responsibility of the caller. From a Connection, Table implementations are retrieved with Connection.getTable(TableName). Example:

 Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(config);
 Table table = connection.getTable(TableName.valueOf("table1"));
 try {
   // Use the table as needed, for a single operation and a single thread
 } finally {
   table.close();
   connection.close();
 }
 

Similarly, Connection also returns Admin and RegionLocator implementations. This class replaces HConnectionManager, which is now deprecated.

0.99.0

Method Detail

createConnection

public static Connection createConnection()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Create a new Connection instance using default HBaseConfiguration. Connection encapsulates all housekeeping for a connection to the cluster. All tables and interfaces created from returned connection share zookeeper connection, meta cache, and connections to region servers and masters.
The caller is responsible for calling Connection.close() on the returned connection instance. Typical usage:

 Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection();
 Table table = connection.getTable(TableName.valueOf("mytable"));
 try {
   table.get(...);
   ...
 } finally {
   table.close();
   connection.close();
 }
 

Returns:

Connection object for conf

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createConnection

public static Connection createConnection(Configuration conf)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Create a new Connection instance using the passed conf instance. Connection encapsulates all housekeeping for a connection to the cluster. All tables and interfaces created from returned connection share zookeeper connection, meta cache, and connections to region servers and masters.
The caller is responsible for calling Connection.close() on the returned connection instance. Typical usage:

 Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(conf);
 Table table = connection.getTable(TableName.valueOf("mytable"));
 try {
   table.get(...);
   ...
 } finally {
   table.close();
   connection.close();
 }
 

Parameters:

conf - configuration

Returns:

Connection object for conf

Throws:
