I agree here but will go farther. Hbase needs an asynchronous api that goes further than its current capability, for example like building lamda functions in the client tier that execute in a java streams manner. Being able to run mapping functions, aggregations, etc without needing coprocessors would be a big win. If Hbase doesn’t do it, the next thing will.
