Hello, If I import data into HBase, can I still run a hand-written MapReduce job over that data in HDFS? That is, not using TableInputFormat to read the data back out via HBase.
Similarly, can one run Hive or Pig scripts against that data, but again, without Hive or Pig reading the data via HBase, but rather getting to it directly via HDFS? I'm asking because I'm wondering whether storing data in HBase means I can no longer use Hive and Pig to run my ad-hoc jobs. Thanks, Otis -- Sematext -- http://sematext.com/ -- Solr - Lucene - Nutch
