Alternatively, you can look at asynchbase: https://github.com/stumbleupon/asynchbase It's designed to be thread-safe from the ground up and very efficient in a multi-threaded application that uses HBase as a backend. It also works with all HBase versions, whereas with HTable you need to change the .jar and restart your application whenever you want to switch between different versions. -- Benoit "tsuna" Sigoure Software Engineer @ www.StumbleUpon.com
