Data stored by HBase in HDFS has 3 replicas of the data and checksums.

It's all built-in, I'm not sure what you meant by "methods" here.

HBase has only one primary key per table.
You may wanna look at the HBase Book, Chapter 5. "Data Model":
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#datamodel

No.

No.

Some addendum to Benoit's answers.
In HBase you can setup Constraint for your table. From javadoc:

 * Apply a {@link Constraint} (in traditional database terminology) to a
HTable.

 * Any number of {@link Constraint Constraints} can be added to the table,
in

 * any order.
See hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/constraint/Constraint.java

Cheers

Yes, but implementing a constraint requires implementing a coprocessor,
which is not something I'd recommend to users as a general practice. HBase
doesn't offer referential integrity as commonly understood in the RDBMS
world (foreign keys, etc.) out of the box.

Hi,

I'm looking for an example of the constraints in HBase with |void check
(put p)|, this is indeed possible, but how? Does anyone possible
examples (code) to?

Ever advance thank you!

best regards!

I have some questions for HBase DB:

    How to ensure data integrity?
    Are there methods ensure the integrity?
    Does HBase primary key? or alternatives
    Foreign key?
    Referential Integrity?
    How are the ACID properties to be implemented?

Ever Thanks for a possible feedback

Please do a bit of background reading first before asking questions on the
list.  Big general questions such as yours are usually already answered
multiple times over.  See our refguide:
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html For constraints, see
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#constraints  Our limited ACID is also
explained therein (The book points to this page:
http://hbase.apache.org/acid-semantics.html).  If you search the list for
'referential integrity', you will find the question was answered a few days
ago already (none).

Thanks,
St.Ack

Hi SB,

I have written a few blog posts about various topics.

For ACID and consistency questions this might help: http://hadoop-hbase.blogspot.com/2012/03/acid-in-hbase.html
As a general quick introduction this might be of help: http://hadoop-hbase.blogspot.com/2011/12/introduction-to-hbase.html
As Stack says, for general questions I would start by perusing the material on http://hbase.apache.org/ and potentially buy one of the books about HBase.

Thanks.
