Ismaël Mejía commented on BEAM-2955:
------------------------------------

I am back, I was thinking during my hiatus that we can maybe implement (1) by rewriting the HBaseIO to receive a 'Service', as BigtableIO does with 'BigtableService' and pass a Service for pure HBase version and other for the Cloud Bigtable version, but i am not sure if this would be the idea you had in mind Solomon. Do you think it is a feasible ?

> The Cloud Bigtable (CBT) team has had a Dataflow connector maintained in a different repo for awhile. Recently, we did some reworking of the Cloud Bigtable client that would allow it to better coexist in the Beam ecosystem, and we also released a Beam connector in our repository that exposes HBase idioms rather than the Protobuf idioms of BigtableIO.  More information about the customer experience of the HBase connector can be found here: [https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/dataflow-hbase].
> The Beam repo is a much better place to house a Cloud Bigtable HBase connector.  There are a couple of ways we can implement this new connector:
> # The CBT connector depends on artifacts in the io/hbase maven project.  We can create a new extend HBaseIO for the purposes of CBT.  We would have to add some features to HBaseIO to make that work (dynamic rebalancing, and a way for HBase and CBT's size estimation models to coexist)
> # The BigtableIO connector works well, and we can add an adapter layer on top of it.  I have a proof of concept of it here: [https://github.com/sduskis/cloud-bigtable-client/tree/add_beam/bigtable-dataflow-parent/bigtable-hbase-beam].
> # We can build a separate CBT HBase connector.
> I'm happy to do the work.  I would appreciate some guidance and discussion about the right approach.
