7.9.0 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
- Application Development Process
  Before you start developing applications on the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric platform, consider how you will get the data into the platform, the storage format of the data, the type of processing or modeling that is required, and how the data will be accessed.
- File Store and Apps
  The following sections provide information about accessing the File Store with C and Java applications.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database and Apps
  This section contains information about developing client applications for JSON and key-value tables.
  - Installing the mapr-client Package
    The mapr-client package must be installed on each node where you will be building and running your applications. This package installs all of the MapR Libraries needed for application development regardless of programming language or type of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table (binary or JSON).
  - Passing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Table Path
    This topic describes the methods for passing a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table name. Binary table names can be passed by either specifying the table path in the API or by setting the table path in the core-site.xml file. JSON table names are passed by specifying the table path in the API.
  - Tuning Parameters for Client Apps
    Though tuning client applications is generally not necessary, Data Fabric does offer tuning parameters to change the behavior of client-side caching.
  - Developing Applications for Binary Tables
    HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database provides a C API, libMapRClient and partially supports the Apache HBase 1.1 Java APIs for performing operation on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary tables.
  - Setting for OJAI Applications to Use Data Fabric Client Features
    Describes how to set the classpath for OJAI applications to use data-fabric client features.
  - Developing Applications for JSON Tables
    As part of its support for JSON tables, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database implements the OJAI API. The OJAI API provides methods for creating, reading, updating, and deleting JSON documents in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables. It is available in Java, and starting in EEP 6.0, also available in Node.js, Python, C#, and Go. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database also provides a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON Client API for managing JSON tables and a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON REST API for performing basic operations using HTTP calls.
    - 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.
      - Creating JSON Documents in OJAI
        The way you create a JSON document in your OJAI application depends on the language you use.
        Creating JSON Documents in Java OJAI
        There are several ways to create JSON documents in your Java OJAI application. They all require you to call the Connection.newDocument method to create a Document object.
        Creating JSON Documents in Python OJAI
        There are two ways to create JSON documents in your Python OJAI application, one of which is the preferred approach.
        Sample OJAI Code for Creating JSON Documents
        The sample code in this section shows you how to create a JSON document.
      - Examples: Inserting JSON Documents
        This section contains sample code that inserts a JSON document into a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON table. It also shows the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell syntax for inserting documents.
      - Using OJAI Mutation Syntax
        To perform updates using OJAI, you specify the document you want to update using its _id field, create mutations for that document, and then update it in your document store. OJAI defines a syntax for specifying mutations. Mutations allow you to append, decrement, delete, increment, combine, replace, and update fields in a document. This topic describes the syntax for the supported mutation operations and provides examples.
      - Examples: Updating JSON Documents
        This section contains sample code that updates a JSON document in a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON table using an OJAI mutation. It also shows the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Shell syntax for updating documents.
    - 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.
    - Using the Java OJAI Thin Client
      Starting with EEP 6.3.0, you can use the Java OJAI Thin Client to write HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON applications. The Java OJAI Thin Client provides a lightweight library that supports the OJAI API.

    - Using the Node.js OJAI Client
      Starting with EEP 6.0, you can use the Node.js OJAI client to write HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON applications. The client provides you with a lightweight library that supports the OJAI API. You can connect to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON from middleware components, and add, update, and query documents in a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON table.
    - Using the Python OJAI Client
      Starting with EEP 6.0, you can use the Python OJAI client to write HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON applications. The client provides you with a lightweight library that supports the OJAI API. You can connect to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON, and add, update, and query documents in a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON table.
    - Using the C# OJAI Client

    - Using the Go OJAI Client
      Starting with EEP 6.0.0, you can use the Go OJAI client to write HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON applications. The client provides you with a lightweight library that supports the OJAI API. You can connect to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON, and add, update, and query documents in a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON table.
    - Configuring SSL for OJAI Clients
      Describes certificates and how to configure SSL for OJAI clients, including which PEM file to point to and how to determine which DAG host name to use.
    - Using the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON REST API
      Starting in the EEP 5.0 release, you can use a REST API to access HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables. The REST API allows you to use HTTP calls to perform basic operations on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables.
    - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON MapReduce API
      This API library extends the Apache Hadoop MapReduce framework, so that you can write your own MapReduce applications to write data from one JSON table to another.
