Hey folks, In case you're not following the action over at HIVE-705, we're getting close to having HBase integration committed into Hive. I've written up docs here:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/HBaseIntegration http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/StorageHandlers (If you happened to read the first draft of the HBaseIntegration doc a few days ago, I've made a lot of updates today to fill out the details on column mapping.) As part of commit, we'll be doing some code reviews within Facebook next week and logging a bunch of followup tasks; if you have any comments on the approach or implementation, please pile on in JIRA. I'll be giving this a quick mention at the Hive user's group later this month, and then a more detailed presentation at the HBase User Group meeting in April. JVS
