[jruby-user] Re: Reading binary Files

According to the Ruby Documentation, I just use their "file" class, 
since my PDFs (here JPGs) are rather small. This seems to work so far, 
but might be slower than a stream-based way. It did well for importing 5 
files on my test box, we'll see how it does when running on the real 
site with millions of files. Even without my "puts" the HBase shell 
produces a lot of messages on screen...

java_import "org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes"
java_import "org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable"
java_import "org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Put"


def jbytes(*args)
  args.map { |arg| arg.to_s.to_java_bytes }
end

files = Dir.glob("/home/roger/Downloads/*.jpg")

files.each { |x| puts "File #{x}"

inFile = File.new(x)
buffer = inFile.read()

table = HTable.new(@hbase.configuration, "rb_test")
p = Put.new(*jbytes(File.basename(x)))

p.add(*jbytes("inhalt", "", buffer))

table.put(p)

table.close()
}
