Provides an HBase REST service. This directory contains a REST service implementation for an Hbase RPC service.

Description

By default, an instance of the REST servlet runs in the master UI; just browse to [WWW] http://MASTER_HOST:MASTER_PORT/api/ (Results are returned as xml by default so you may have to look at source to see results). If you intend to use the hbase REST API heavily, to run an instance of the RES T server outside of the master, do the following:

cd $HBASE_HOME
bin/hbase rest start
  
The default port is 60050.
