Hi folks, I recently rewrote the Pig HBase loader to work with binary data, push down filters, and do other things that make it more versatile. If you use, or plan to use, both Pig and HBase, please try it out, take a look at the code, let me know what you think. I am just starting to learn about HBase, so I am especially interested to learn if there are HBase capabilities I am not using and should be.
The code is part of our "ElephantBird" project, here: http://github.com/kevinweil/elephant-bird/ and more specifically: http://github.com/kevinweil/elephant-bird/tree/master/src/java/com/twitter/elephantbird/pig/load/ Thanks, -Dmitriy
