22 Native client for HBase 0.96
24 This is a C library that implements a
25 HBase client. It's thread safe and libEv
31 Synchronous and Async versions will both be built
32 on the same foundation. The core foundation will
33 be C++. External users wanting a C library will
34 have to choose either async or sync. These
35 libraries will be thin veneers ontop of the C++.
37 We should try and follow pthreads example as much
41 * Opaque pointers as types so that binary compat is easy.
42 * Simple setup when the defaults are good.
43 * Attr structs when lots of paramters could be needed.
47 All public C files will start with hbase_*.{h, cc}. This
48 is to keep naming conflicts to a minimum. Anything without
49 the hbase_ prefix is assumed to be implementation private.
51 All C apis and typedefs will be prefixed with hb_.
53 All typedefs end with _t.
