[jira] [Commented] (METAMODEL-13) HBase support for MetaModel

["Ian Varley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Ian Varley commented on METAMODEL-13:
-------------------------------------

I see there's already some work done here, which is cool. An HBase module would be nifty.

In addition, have you looked into Phoenix (https://github.com/forcedotcom/Phoenix)? It's a JDBC "skin" on HBase which supports highly optimized read / write interactions with HBase through a JDBC / SQL interface. It's not fully functional (for example, it can't perform JOINs), nor is it fully standard (for example, it uses "UPSERT" rather than "INSERT" and "UPDATE"), so to work seamlessly in Metamodel I think it would still have to be a separate provider (i.e. it wouldn't just fall under the standard JDBC bucket). But even so, using it internally within the module might be a faster, simpler route for integrating HBase into metamodel rather than going directly against the HBase client API. Additionally, it provides a lot of capabilities that would be difficult to replicate against the API directly, like aggregation functions, secondary indexes, etc. Something to consider.
