I agree with Bill and Deshpande that we ought to make clear to users that they don't nee HICC, and therefore don't need either MySQL or HBase.
But I think what Eric meant to ask was which of MySQL and HBase ought to be the default *for HICC*. My sense is that the HBase support isn't quite mature enough, but it's getting there. I think HBase is ultimately the way to go. I think we might benefit as a community by doing a 0.5 release first, while waiting for the pig-based aggregation support that's blocking HBase. --Ari On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 10:47 AM, Deshpande, Deepak <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree.
