recommended ways to access hbase from ruby client

[T Vinod Gupta <tv...@readypulse.com>]

hi,
what are the most recommended approaches to access data stored in hbase
from ruby code? i see bunch of options out there but don't know which one
is the best and widely used.
currently, our backend systems write data to hbase and also expose thrift
based apis. our website ruby code calls those apis and gets the results.
the more efficient way would be to go look into hbase directly from ruby
code.

thanks

Ruby via thrift?  You've seen the ruby ORMs listed on support projects
up on wiki?
