Hi there I want encryption before pushing data into hbase,and I've done it by changing in some library to encrypt data.But it doesn't have any performance,I mean for each row it should encrypt/decrypt the cell,so for a query that has a lot of rows ,it will take a long time. my question is this,why hbase doesn't have any option for that ( in hbase shell like compression method ),for example like other relational databases(sqlserver,.. ),is there any reason for that ? Thanks you guys
