Please help to check in this code into http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/hive/trunk/hbase-handler/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/hbase
The change is needed for the hive_hbase-handler.jar to be compatible with cloudera CDH3 version of hbase. they are also needed to be compatible with hbase 0.20.4 and 0.20.5. The change is very minimal tompared to today's trunk. only 2 type casting, and one change to use the getVaule() API that exists in all versions of hbase.
Jimmy.
