[jira] Commented: (PIG-1782) Add ability to load data by column family in HBaseStorage

["Dmitriy V. Ryaboy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1782?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12990653#comment-12990653 ] 

Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-1782:
----------------------------------------

That seems reasonable to me.

The only reason I suggest deprecating the current HBaseStorage is that it's awkwardly placed in backend.hadoop.hbase which is not where anyone really expects to find it. But I guess we can do that in a different ticket.

> It would be nice to load all columns in the column family by using short hand syntax like:
> {noformat}
> CpuMetrics = load 'hbase://SystemMetrics' USING org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.hbase.HBaseStorage('cpu:','-loadKey');
> {noformat}
> Assuming there are columns cpu: sys.0, cpu:sys.1, cpu:user.0, cpu:user.1,  in cpu column family.
> CpuMetrics would contain something like:
> {noformat}
> (rowKey, cpu:sys.0, cpu:sys.1, cpu:user.0, cpu:user.1)
> {noformat}
