Hi, HBase has moved to 1.1 branch as their latest stable release[1] and since it is wire compatible with 0.98 releases, I'd like to propose that Drill updates its supported HBase release to 1.1.
Essentially, it means that we update the HBase clients bundled with Drill distribution to latest stable version of 1.1 branch. I do not expect any code change. I have assigned DRILL-4199 to myself and unless someone has a reason to not to, I'd like to move to HBase 1.1 in Drill 1.7 release. aditya...
