Eric Yang commented on PIG-1782:
--------------------------------
There is no control of hbase timestamp in pig. Hence, the timestamp returned
is the actual insertion time when calling pig store function. I am not sure
how useful this could be. To be more explicit, it will look like:
{noformat}
( rowKey,
( column_name, ( ( value, ts ), ... ) ), ...
)
{noformat}
It is concise but not user friendly.
I am leaning toward returning a map.
> Add ability to load data by column family in HBaseStorage

> Key: PIG-1782
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1782
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Environment: Java 6, Mac OS X 10.6
> Reporter: Eric Yang
> Assignee: Bill Graham
>
> It would be nice to load all columns in the column family by using short hand
> syntax like:
> {noformat}
> CpuMetrics = load 'hbase://SystemMetrics' USING
> org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.hbase.HBaseStorage('cpu:','-loadKey');
> {noformat}
> Assuming there are columns cpu: sys.0, cpu:sys.1, cpu:user.0, cpu:user.1, in
> cpu column family.
> CpuMetrics would contain something like:
> {noformat}
> (rowKey, cpu:sys.0, cpu:sys.1, cpu:user.0, cpu:user.1)
> {noformat}
