+1 for Phoenix as well. SQL access for HBase is a repeated thread in the community and while we probably aren't at the point where there is a single answer for this - and may never be - it would be nice to have a few "preferred options", so to speak, with robust communities around them. Also, per Andy's point about SQL not being a non-goal of HBase proper, I agree, hence another project makes sense.
I see both good capabilities and a growing community around Phoenix.
