Reg. support for using HBase as a source and sink for a Map-Reduce streaming job

[Varadharajan Mukundan <sr...@gmail.com>]

Greetings,

Currently I'm using HBase 0.90.3 to store data. I would like to know,
whether it is possible to integrate HBase table as a Data source and
as a Data sink for my MapReduce job, written in Python and executed as
a Hadoop streaming job.

Thanks,

Yes, you can do this via the thrift API:

Alternatively you can use Pig's HBaseStorage (r/w), or HBase's ImportTsv
(w).
