Looks like the requirement from your company is that there be SQL interface to HBase. You can use Hive on top of HBase but the performance wouldn't be as good as using (Java) clients directly. Also, that would mean you will be evaluating two products instead of one.
Several companies are developing products which provide SQL interface to HBase. Namely, Phoenix from Salesforce, Panthera from Intel and Wasp from Taobao. This area is quite active at the moment.
