hbase 0.92 and opentsdb compatibility

Question

I am trying to migrate opentsdb to use hbase 0.92, since for some reason hbase 0.90.x, which uses a branch-versioned hadoop core jar, does not play well with any release of hadoop. Sadly after I configured and hooked up everything, I constantly got the following error in hbase's log

2012-05-02 21:48:25,725 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegion: No such column family in batch put

when I searched through opentsdb's frontend UI, I got this error

Is it because asynchbase-1.2 does not play well with hbase 0.92. Can someone please help?

Answer 1

I'm not sure how you did this, but this clearly shows that you incorrectly created the tables. OpenTSDB needs two tables, tsdb and tsdb-uid (names are configurable). The tsdb table has a single column family, t, and tsdb-uid has two: name and id.

From the excerpt above, it is clear that your tsdb table has the column families of tsdb-uid:

{NAME => 'tsdb', FAMILIES => [{NAME => 'id', ...}, {NAME => 'name', ...}]}

Use OpenTSDB's src/create_table.sh script to create the tables. With it you can't get it wrong.
