Example for using THttpClient API in unsecure cluster

THttpClient API in unsecure cluster

Let us consider that the cluster is unsecured with the configuration properties mentioned in the HBase thrift configurations table under the Default value (unsecured) column.

from thrift.transport import THttpClient
from thrift.protocol import TBinaryProtocol
from hbase.Hbase import Client

# Replace with your own parameters
hostname = 'your_hbase_thrift_server_hostname'

# Initialize THttpClient
httpClient = THttpClient.THttpClient('http://' + hostname + ':9090/')

# Initialize TBinaryProtocol with THttpClient
protocol = TBinaryProtocol.TBinaryProtocol(httpClient)

# Create HBase client
client = Client(protocol)

# Retrieve list of HBase tables
tables = client.getTableNames()
print(tables)

# Close connection
httpClient.close()
