Swarnim Kulkarni commented on HIVE-6147:
----------------------------------------
[~xuefuz] You are correct. This adds support to the existing HBaseSerDe via
ObjectInspectors to query avro data stored in HBase. Also you make a very good
point about having a unified interface to allow for the querying of any
structured format stored in any storage like HBase or HDFS. Specifically we can
look at creating specific implementations of the HBase DataType[1] to have such
layer on top of HBase. The idea here though this specific problem and get this
support in for now and then move towards a more generalized approach.

> Presently, the HBase Hive integration supports querying only primitive data
> types in columns. It would be nice to be able to store and query Avro objects
> in HBase columns by making them visible as structs to Hive. This will allow
> Hive to perform ad hoc analysis of HBase data which can be deeply structured.
