We need at least three things for us to realistically "plan/build/operate" on Hadoop: 1. Put our "too big data" into Hadoop (sqoop-->Hive, HBql-->HBase, etc) 2. Connect our applications to Hadoop to process this "too big data" via MR (HBql looks great here, Hive has JDBC too, neither have full ODBC) 3. View our "too big data" in Hadoop with universally familiar desktop tools (Excel,Access,SqlDbx) Today, #3 cannot be done _anywhere_ in Hadoop.(requires a full ODBC capability).

No plans for it, but always open to ideas. Is there any consideration for HBql to implement /support drivers that provide HBase w/ an ODBC API capability?. We don't yet know if/how/when we can potentially connect our legacy data tools (MS-Excel, MS-Access, and SqlDbx) to Hadoop. The Hadoop HIVE project has an OBDC driver, but it is not yet supported on Microsoft Windows. We are looking forward to when we can connect universally familiar Microsoft-based data tools to Hadoop. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named.
