Cascading support of HBase

[Chris K Wensel <ch...@wensel.net>]

Hey all,

Just wanted to let everyone know the HBase Hackathon was a success  
(thanks Streamy!), and we now have Cascading Tap adapters for HBase.

You can find the link here (along with additional third-party  
extensions in the near future).

Please feel free to give it a test, clone the repo, and submit patches  
back to me via GitHub.

The unit test shows how simple it is to import/export data to/from an  
HBase cluster.

For those not familiar with Cascading, it is an alternative processing  
API that is generally more natural to develop and think in than  
MapReduce.

enjoy,

chris

p.s. If you have any code you want to contribute back, just stick it  
on GitHub and send me a link.
