8.0.0 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE 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 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 Data Fabric Database and Apps
  This section contains information about developing client applications for JSON and key-value tables.
- Apache Kafka Wire Protocol Service
  HPE Data Fabric Streams supports Apache Kafka Wire Protocol Service. Apache Kafka Wire Protocol Service is a TCP/IP service that emulates a Kafka cluster backed by HPE Data Fabric Streams. The service makes it possible for Apache Kafka clients written in any programming language to access topics in HPE Data Fabric Streams.

Definitions for commonly used terms in MapR Converged Data Platform environments.

Hive and HPE Data Fabric Database Integration

You can create HPE Data Fabric Database binary tables from Hive that can be accessed by both Hive and HPE Data Fabric Database. You can run Hive queries on HPE Data Fabric Database binary tables, convert existing HPE Data Fabric Database binary tables into Hive-HPE Data Fabric Database tables, and run Hive queries on those tables as well.
