write into Hbase table

Question

I have a Hbase table: 'employeedetails' with column families: 'personaldetails','professionaldetails'

When I try to write using put for multiple column families, like below:

put 'employeedetails','1','personaldetails:firstname','Steven','personaldetails:lastname','Gerrard','professionaldetails:company','ABC','professionaldetails:empid','123abc'

I get the error message:

ERROR: wrong number of arguments (10 for 6) Here is some help for this command: Put a cell 'value' at specified table/row/column and optionally timestamp coordinates. To put a cell value into table 'ns1:t1' or 't1' at row 'r1' under column 'c1' marked with the time 'ts1', do:

But if I put the data into ColumnFamily's columns one by one, it works.

hbase(main):040:0> put 'employeedetails','1','personaldetails:firstname','Steven' 0 row(s) in 0.0190 seconds

Can anyone tell me if I am doing any mistake while writing for multiple column families or is there any difference in the concept of writing multiple column families in one go.

In Hbase, you cannot write multiple column qualifiers in one go.

Put is meant for writing a single cell value into the Hbase table.

Put a cell ‘value’ at specified table/row/column and optionally timestamp coordinates.

Split your put statement into multiple individual put statements.
