Hive and HBase can coexist independently on top of the same DFS filesystem and
cluster.
There are two ongoing projects to hook up HBase and HIVE that I am aware of:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-705
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-806
Depending on how far along these, some level of cooperation can be possible.
More certainly down the road.
Best regards,

Subject: can Hive & HBase co-exist on the same cluster?
Hi all,
I am a newbie doing some research to put-together a system to process
large number of log-records.
A) Hbase system with clients executing MR jobs on the data
B) there may be some instances where we need to run ad-hoc queries on
the data. I am trying to see if this can be done with out users
having to resort to writing MR programs. HQL might be enough. But if
it is not, I am considering Hive.
so that brings to my questions
1) Can both Hive and Hbase co-exist on the same cluster?
2) can they 'share' the same data/schema? or do I need to insert the
same data into Hbase table and Hive table?
thanks
S
