Thanks. Some interesting tidbits there, maybe. We are also looking at, as an alternative to (ab)using HBase for distributing data among a global federation of Hadoop clusters, using a distributed suffix trie on top of a DHT, with local replication from DST into HBase tables. It's unclear at this point if this would be any less difficult than subclassing/adapting region servers and scanner API and Hbase shell commands for our ends.
