 Greetings!



We would like to support HBase in a general manner, having our software
connect to any HBase table and read/write it in a row-oriented fashion.
However, as we explore HBase, the raw interface is at a very low level --
basically a map from binary record keys to named columns.  So my question
about metadata standards.  What do users mostly do to use HBase for
row-oriented access?  It is always going through Hive?



Thanks

john

Depending on what you really need you can explore Apache Phoenix or HP trafodion (open sourced recently by HP labs)
