+James (Phoenix lead) AFAIK, data inserted into hbase for phoenix reads needs to be phoenix encoded. We wrote a StoreFunc to write data into hbase with data being phoenix encoded. You can give it a try https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix/blob/master/src/main/java/com/salesforce/phoenix/pig/PhoenixHBaseStorage.java
Please note this is in the early phase of development, feel free to open issues on https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix/issues if you find any.
