[resolved] Retrieving Row Key from HBase table in Talend

[KarthikGs]

Hi,
I'm trying to read data from hbase and make some transformations on the data in expression builder using big data batch.
now i want to get the row key of the table and apply transformations on it like this,
getUUID(concat('-',cast(cus.key as string))) as customer_id.

Here "getUUID" is a routine which i'm using, and key is the row key of hbase table.

So when i basically run my job, the key of the hbase table should be picked up so that the above transformations should be applied and stored as customer_id.
So how should i get the rowkey from hbase? Either inserting the row key in to a separate column will also do.
Thanks in advance

Hi 
tHbaseInput doesn't have option to retrieve rowKey as column result, this is a new feature request, see jira issue.

hi shong,
I have solved it by altering the tHbaseInput code .
now my application is fetching the Row key from the hbase table.
