Overview
We assume that our incredibly popular user, you, needs a big-data solution for your phone book. We will thus walk you through the process of defining a layout for your phone book, creating a Kiji table with this layout and looking up an entry. The current text file you have been using to store your contacts resides at $KIJI_HOME/examples/phonebook/input-data.txt and we also show you how to bulk load this into your Kiji table.
Example code for a more in depth look at these use cases exist in the directory $KIJI_HOME/examples/phonebook/src/main/java. Instructions for how to build and use this example code can be found in the next section of this tutorial, Setup.
