Hi, I want to make sure which tools can be used to query HBase tables, like HBase shell. Is pig integrated with Hbase, so it can support some query and other operations like create\write\append to HBase tables. I found PIG6(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-6) tried to solve similar problems, but I don't know when this new feature and more similar features will be released in new version of pig.
Also I want to be clear that how powerful of HBase shell. It seems that there are not many operations, so if lots of data expected to store into HBase, does it can work effectively. I am surveying on this problems. Does anyone can help me? Thanks a lot! Best Wishes! _____________________________________________________________ Liu Xianglong
