I am also using Phoenix in production and have been now for roughly 6 months. We adopted Phoenix for most of the same reasons Anil mentions.
We are connection to a secure cluster without issue. We have also implemented our own storm persistence bolt, and a lookup bolt that are reading and writing to our Phoenix/Hbase cluster. I have still had problems getting a secure connection from client tools for adhoc analysis other than sqlline. Still fighting though connections from SquirrelSQL, although I haven't dedicated a whole lot of time trying to figure it out.
