Hi Everyone,

I am working on a project that requires some information from the client at
runtime.

So I need to make a RPC to the client with some arguments from a server
side function (SingleColumnValueFIlter.java). Can anyone please tell me how
I can do it.

Thanks,
Dishant

You probably don't want to do that.

What are you trying to achieve exactly?

J-D

I am working on developing encrypted hbase storage.

The task I am working on currently requires a temporary key from the client
to decrypt the value. I cannot pass it during the client to server RPC as
it will only be known at the time of processing (on server side) so as to
which key is needed. I need to make a RPC to the client to get that key.
Can you suggest a way to do it?

Hi
    Can you write your code in a co processor impl? So that server can call your code. CP will run at server side.
I am not sure whether you must come to the client process itself.

Hi Anoop,

I haven't used co-processor package before but my understanding is that, it
is the client which calls desired region-servers instead of server calling
the client. Can you please explain how a server-side function can
call/instantiate co-processor.

Thanks,
Dishant

Hi
     You can see RegionObserver Interface.  You need to implement this interface and plugin the same to RSs.
[U can also extend BaseRegionObserver class]
CP contains hook points which the RS contact during different actions happening at the server. Like put, delete. There are pre and post hooks.  What ever the action u want to happen during this time u can add in appropriate hook methods.  
After implementing the interface you can plugin the same into RS by configuring the fully qualified class name of of your implementation class in hbase-default.xml file

The config param key is hbase.coprocessor.user.region.classes

Note : There is possible to write CP for Master also. But you might need it at RS side only.  Hope this helps u..  You can read HBase book for more details

Pls go through
http://hbase.apache.org/book/regionserver.arch.html#coprocessors.

Here we have master environment, regionserver environment which will give
you access to locate a region of your interest and based on that you can do
the operation on that region thro the server itself.  

Hope this helps.

Regards
Ram
