Nick Dimiduk commented on HIVE-2599:
------------------------------------
Hi Swarnim,
Would you mind taking a look at HBASE-8693? Specifically, HBase now provides a
Struct for defining compound keys, with support for composition using both
field-width and delimiter-based separation. It would be great to get these type
encoders supported as first-class citizens for bridging the gap between Hive
and HBase.
Thanks,
Nick

> It would be really nice for hive to be able to understand composite keys from
> an underlying HBase schema. Currently we have to store key fields twice to be
> able to both key and make data available. I noticed John Sichi mentioned in
> HIVE-1228 that this would be a separate issue but I cant find any follow up.
> How feasible is this in the HBaseStorageHandler?
