Connect HBase rules support interactions between the Pega Platformand Apache HBase data stores by performing reading and writing operations on a single row identified by the unique row ID.
Before you can connect to Apache HBase data store, upload the HBase client jars into the application container with the Pega Platform. You need different jars for particular versions of Apache HBase data store, so the jars are not in the Pega Platform database and they need to be uploaded.
Connect HBase rules are available in applications that have access to the functionality provided by the Pega-BigData ruleset.
There is a new form of the HBase rule. While you cannot create any new instances of the Pega 7.1.7 HBase rule, legacy instances in your application remain functional. For details see the Service tab.
