Copy Data from one hbase table to another

Question

I have created one table hivetest which also create the table in hbase with name of 'hbasetest'. Now I want to copy 'hbasetest' data into another hbase table(say logdata) with the same schema. So, can anyone help me how do copy the data from 'hbasetest' to 'logdata' without using the hive.

CREATE TABLE hivetest(cookie string, timespent string, pageviews string, visit string, logdate string) 
STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = "m:timespent, m:pageviews, m:visit, m:logdate")
TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "hbasetest");

Updated question :

I have created the table logdata like this. But, I am getting the following error.

create 'logdata', {NAME => ' m', BLOOMFILTER => 'NONE', REPLICATION_SCOPE => '0', VERSIONS => '3', COMPRESSION => 'NONE', MIN_VERSIONS =>'0', TTL => '2147483647', BLOCKSIZE=> '65536', IN_MEMORY => 'false', BLOCKCACHE => 'true'}

Answer 1

Use the copyTable command. Example :

$ bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.CopyTable --new.name=logdata hbasetest

Answer 2

Actually i am using hive-0.9.0. Which has a bug

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3243.

So, while creating the table SerDe of HBaseStorageHandler doesn't ignore white space between comma and column family. Hence you need to remove the white spaces. Then it will work fine.
