Hi Otis, Other some basic tests on EC2, I'm afraid not. I was initially pondering using ElasticSearch as the front end REST and hooking in the CRUD to HBase underneath, but since HBase is not my primary store (in truth it is something I only get time to fire up and play with occasionally at the moment) I normally do a MR load to HBase so would go in under the ES layer. For our use cases, custom indexes for search, with 'lite' record content in a separate cluster to HBase is an attractive option, leaving HBase free to handle reporting and full record detail serving, annotating etc, and also allowing different scaling based on the ultimate load.
>From my playing around with ES, it seems promising to act as the front end layer - pretty good docs, nice API. I have not hammered it with any load though.
