There are many potential benefits of using hive hbase handler.
1. The most obvious is ability to run SQL like queries on your data instead of using hbase client. 2. Ability to join data with other data sources like HDFS or S3. 3. Ability to move data from your Hive tables into Hbase tables.

Hive document said hive is high latency, to query a table with about 100M might take 1 minute. And hbase is a high performance database, so does that mean after integrate hive and hbase, hive will get a better performance with lower latency?
