This interests me too. I asked Cloudera in their community forums a while back but got no answer on this. I hope they don’t leave us out in the cold. I tried building it too before with the instructions here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2834. I could get it to build, but I couldn’t get it to work using the Phoenix installation instructions. For some reason, dropping the server jar into CDH 5.7.0 HBase lib directory didn’t change things. HBase seemed not to use it. Now that this is out, I’ll give it another try hoping that there is a way. If anyone has any leads to help, please let me know.
