Hi folks, Currently, HBase hasn’t support SQL syntax yet. Many users who are familiar with SQL syntax can only query data from HBase via Hive, Impala, Phoenix or other tools that support SQL syntax. However, some tools are too complicated to install and need to restart the HBase cluster. Additionally, there may be side effects that affect raw data. If HBase has a native SQL querying module which is easy to install without restarting the cluster as well as not affecting the original data, it would be extremely helpful and handy for users that are already familiar with SQL syntax.
In HareDB, we have implemented HareQL, and hope that we can contribute some piece as a module to HBase. See attached document for more details.
