Listen to HBase table updates

Question

How to keep a listener for my HBase table that notifies in case the table is updated (eg addition of new rows)?

This should be similar to a backend service running, which is possible for the mysql databases using hibernate.

Answer 1

Take a look at Hbase Co-Processors , it provides the observers which can detect the change in table.
