Hi, In the hbase table I do not see column qualifier, only family. For testing connection to hbase I also created a table using
CREATE TABLE hbase_table_1(key int, value string) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,cf1:val") TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "xyz"); I see xyz table in hbase. then I added a row in hbase using put 'xyz', 'row1', 'cf1', 'abc' Then in hive I did: select * from hbase_table_1; No results are returned, but scan xys in hbase returns 1 row. Thanks.

The mapping should be of form COLUMN_FAMILY:COLUMN_QUALIFIER. In this case it seems to be COLUMN_FAMILY:TYPE which is not right.

In task log, do you see any connection attempt to HBase ? Cheers On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 11:30 AM, <alx...@aim.com> wrote: Hello, I use hive-0.9.0 with hadoop-0.20.2 and hbase -0.92.1. I have created external table, mapping it to an existing table in hbase. When I do "select * from myextrenaltable" it returns no results, although scan in hbase shows data, and I do not see any errors in jobtracker log. Any ideas how to debug this issue. Thanks.
