I'd recommend changing from the grammar of above to UDC(user-defined casts), Paul.
{code}ex. select MyCast(col1:) from table ...{code}

"select col1: format(SomeFormatClass), col2: format(AnotherFormatClass) from table ...."
is too heterogeneous from select statement.

> Currently when selecting a row, if the data does not convert to a String the hbase shell will print garbage.  It would be nice if  HQL supported a mechanism to format individual columns.  Something along the lines of:
> select col1: format(SomeFormatClass), col2: format(AnotherFormatClass) from table ....
