hbase-fs just like normal local file system. It has three main class:

• HBaseFile
• HBaseFileInputStream
• HBaseFileOutputStream

With special InputStream and OutputStream implementation, you can easily read and write file on HBase.

I recommend to use md5 or SHA-1 of the file as the identifier, so you can easily find out wether the content of a file has been stored in the hbase cluster.

1. HBaseFile.Factory.buildHBaseFile(identifier) get a HBaseFile instance;

• new HBaseFileInputStream(hbFile) get InputStream;
• read from the InputStream

1. like Read's step 1;

• new HBaseFileOutputStream(hbFile) get OutputStream;
• write to the OutputStream
• remember to close

Now, it's just a Prototype.
