NOTE: This code is now bundled in HyperRecord (as of version 0.2.0), so you don't need to install it separately anymore.

hypertable_adapter

Hypertable Adapter allows ActiveRecord to communicate with Hypertable.

In ActiveRecord, each supported data store has an adapter that implements functionality specific to that store as well as providing metadata for data held within the store. Features implemented by adapters typically include:

• connection handling
• list of tables
• list of columns per data
• low-level support for qualified columns
• statement execution (selects, writes, etc.)
• latency measurement
• fixture handling

The adapter provides low-level integration between Hypertable and ActiveRecord. A separate library called HyperRecord is required to fully integrate the two.

Basic Hypertable Adapter Configuration

Before using the adapter, you must declare a hypertable connection in config/database.yml. The adapter communicates with Hypertable using a Thrift Broker (see http://hypertable.org/documentation.html for details) which is part of the main Hypertable installation. The connection record in config/database.yml must identify the host name and the port used by the Thrift Broker:

hypertable: adapter: hypertable host: localhost port: 38080

Or, if you need to do it in code outside of database.yml:

ActiveRecord::Base.configurations['hypertable'] = { 'adapter' => 'hypertable', 'host' => 'localhost', 'port' => '38080' }
