Hi Mike,

As far as I understand it, the Hive storage handler APIs (which is how the Accumulo integration is implemented) doesn't expose any ability to do use index tables to answer some query.

This means that the only thing you can do to make queries faster, would be to create a number of tables, pivoted on the columns you care about, putting the important columns in the rowId. Then, you would have to know which table to use at the application layer.

Admittedly, this is pretty lacking. I'd have to go look at the Hive community to see if this is something that's been built there.

Hi,

I am looking to utilize an index table to avoid full table scans and speed up 
hive queries against an external accumulo table.

Has anyone done this yet? Can someone point me in the right direction?
