Hi Vincent, If you are able to provide some criteria for selecting the rows(rowkey/composite rowkey/column) etc, you can try using Crux at https://github.com/sonalgoyal/crux. With Crux, you can select specific data in HBase columns by defining filters and view the data in a tabular/chart format.
Let me know if you need any help.
