        • Managing JSON Tables

          This section describes how to create, list, and delete JSON tables, alter JSON table attributes, set permissions, and manage column families. You can perform these operations using either the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON Client API library or HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell commands.

        • Managing JSON Documents

          To perform CRUD operations (create, read, update, and delete) on JSON documents in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables using the OJAI API, you use Document, DocumentStore, and DocumentMutation objects.

        • Querying JSON Documents

          This section describes how to query JSON documents in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables using the OJAI API library and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell. It includes sample programs using the OJAI API library and shows how to run the same queries in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell.

        • Querying with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell

          This section describes how to query JSON documents using either the find or findbyid command in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell (dbshell). It introduces the functionality the find command supports and describes the two ways to specify your queries. It also provides links to reference pages and examples.

        • Examples: Querying JSON Documents

          This section provides query examples using the OJAI API. The examples include querying by document ID, retrieving all documents in a store, selecting individual fields, specifying query conditions, and ordering your query result. For reference, the examples also include the equivalent HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell (dbshell) commands.

        • Using the Java OJAI Client

          This topic describes HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database functionality that is applicable to only the Java OJAI client. This includes instructions on how to compile your Java OJAI application, enable buffered writes, use the read your own writes feature, and enable available query options.

          • Compiling and Running Java OJAI Applications

            For applications that use the Java OJAI API, use Maven to compile and determine the application's dependencies. Then, when you run the application, specify those dependencies in the application's classpath.

          • Reading Your Own Writes in Java OJAI

            The Java OJAI DocumentStore and Query APIs provide the ability to track writes to JSON tables. Use these APIs to ensure your application reads recent writes on JSON tables with secondary indexes.
