Sorry to be rude, but what does everyone actually use now? We are an ISV and need to support the most common access pattern. john

We would like to support HBase in a general manner, having our software connect to any HBase table and read/write it in a row-oriented fashion. However, as we explore HBase, the raw interface is at a very low level -- basically a map from binary record keys to named columns. So my question about metadata standards. What do users mostly do to use HBase for row-oriented access? It is always going through Hive? Thanks john
