Hi 'user',

     This is a many-to-many question, I also infer the hbase design FAQ,
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/FAQ_Design.
     What I want to do is desinging a 'user' table, incluing 'user' basic
infomations(columnFamily1), and team-name 'user' joined in(columnFamily2),
     When a user join in a new Team, I want to update the 'user' table to
add a column to 'columnFamily2'. So when getting the user , I get all the
team-names the user join in.
     Yet I don't want to put duplicate records, known as multi-versions,
each user has only one record.
     What should I do?

    Any advice will be appreciated!
Thanks & Best Regards
Mike

If you are you adding a new column to the team column family, I dont think
multi version comes into picture. Multi Versioning is saving copies of
values of a particular cell, but you are creating a new cell within the
same row.

Hi Sonal,

   Thanks for your reply.
   How to add a new column to the existing columnFamily?The method I want
to try is using 3 steps, first get the record, construct a new put, using
the reocrd's( getted before) columnFamily2, then delete the old record in
Hbase, finally put the new constructed 'put' into Hbase.I really don't
think this is a good way.
   if another 'put', including a new column is put to Hbase, this is a
'update' action or another version?
   Would you please give me some reference for adding a column to a row?

Thanks & Best Regards
Mike

Sorry, is this what you want? I created a table with two column families. I
added one row and column family cf1 with qualifier team1. Then I added new
team cf1 with qualifier team2.

hbase(main):001:0> create 'multi','cf1','cf2'
0 row(s) in 1.6240 seconds

hbase(main):002:0> put 'multi','row1','cf1:team1','firstTeam'
0 row(s) in 0.0880 seconds

hbase(main):003:0> scan 'multi'
ROW                   COLUMN+CELL

 row1                 column=cf1:team1, timestamp=1345783824219,
value=firstTeam
1 row(s) in 0.0540 seconds

hbase(main):004:0> put 'multi','row1','cf1:team2','secondTeam'
0 row(s) in 0.0060 seconds

hbase(main):005:0> scan 'multi'
ROW                   COLUMN+CELL

 row1                 column=cf1:team1, timestamp=1345783824219,
value=firstTeam
 row1                 column=cf1:team2, timestamp=1345783846821,
value=secondTea
                      m

1 row(s) in 0.0250 seconds

Hi Jong

You can add a new column unannounced. This means your current 'put' does not have to recall which other columns are already present in  the row or for that matter, in the table. You just issue a put command as if it was your first one, and the column will be added.

Unlike rdbms, There are no update or alter table commands You need to execute to add a new column.

If the column you are adding already existed,then a new version of value you put, is stored.

Thanks

Hi Sonal,

   Thanks again.I have got a  misunderstanding of Column-oriented Hbase.
   Said by Abhishek, solving my problem

*You can add a new column unannounced. This means your current 'put' does
not have to recall which other columns are already present in  the row or
for that matter, in the table. You just issue a put command as if it was
your first one, and the column will be added.

Unlike rdbms, There are no update or alter table commands You need to
execute to add a new column.* *

If the column you are adding already existed,then a new version of value
you put, is stored.*
Thanks,
Mike
