Does Hive support HBase (like) column based storage?

Hi to all Hivers out there!

Does Hive currently support column-based storage?
For example, can we use HBase tables as Hive table inputs for HQL?

Thanks in advance,

Haggai

Y, hive support column-based storage. RCFile. You can create a table using
command like :
Create table tbl(cols) .... stored as RCFile
to try Hive's column storage.

Right now, Hive does not support it, but is working on it. See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-705
Please feel free to add your comment on the jira page.
