I don't think it will be hard to implement. Just start with the
HbaseVertexInputFormat and have it extend EdgeInputFormat. You can look
at TableEdgeInputFormat for an example. It sounds like a good
contribution to Giraph.

Hi,
Question: Will there be HBaseEdgeInputFormat class or is there a
restriction of HBase thus we can't implement it?
HBaseVertexInputFormat is fine for vertex-centric reading, i.e.
each row in HBase corresponds to one Vertex. But it does not allow
me to create duplicate vertices with the same ID.
Now I have the case "many rows in HBase can correspond to one
Vertex, each representing sets of edges."
Example:
a1 - x y z
a2 - t p
a3 - k
will be
vertex "a" with edges to x y z t p k
It gives me the intuition that if there existed
HBaseEdgeInputFormat, I could solve this case. But it doesn't
exist yet.
