Can you try these two queries ?, and are you trying to execute your query from Drill's sqlline prompt or from a Java program ?
select X.CF.`11503` from hbase.`X**` where convert_from(row_key, 'bigint_be') = 916124337090; and this one select X.CF.`11503` from hbase.`X**` where convert_from(row_key, 'UTF8') = 916124337090; On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 5:31 PM, Krishnaprasad A S < krishna.pra...@flytxt.com> wrote: > Hi, > I have a doubt on Hbase storage in Drill. > > My HBase table 'X' has a column family 'CF' and a column name which is an > integer. > we store the data in hbase with column name as bytes array, using the > following code to create the byte[] (as normal in Hbase). > byte[] column = org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes*.toBytes(integerValue)* > > if my column name is integer 11503, > then how can I query the data from the specific column. > Currently the following query does not work, it returns zero rows even > though data exists in the column. > *select X.CF.`11503` from hbase.`X**` where > convert_from(byte_substr(row_key, 1, 12), 'bigint_be') = 916124337090;* > > Any help ? > > -- > Krishnaprasad A S > < > http://www.linkedin.com/company/22166?goback=%2Efcs_GLHD_flytxt_false_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2&trk=ncsrch_hits > > >
