Yes, I think JPA support would be cool. I have discussed it with Patrick Linskey and he thinks we should be able to do it as a plugin to OpenJPA. My only fear is how much of the HBase goodness has to be set aside in order to for it to work in the context of JPA. The HBql annotations (and mappings) address things like unmapped columns and versioning, which are not part of JPA. > Another very interesting aspect on easing HBase development would be some > nifty support for necessary facets or satellites (looking for some good term > coining here).
