Samuel Guo commented on HIVE-705: --------------------------------- @Ashish Thank you for your comment. It is difficult to infer the columns list from a sparse column hbase table, we do not know exactly how many columns in a given hbase table. We just know all the column families of a given hbase table. Also, the data in hbase are all raw bytes. If we do not explicitly stat the schema mapping, we will lose the information how to serialize/deserialize the data from raw bytes. > Let Hive can analyse hbase's tables > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-705 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-705 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Samuel Guo > Attachments: hbase-0.19.3-test.jar, hbase-0.19.3.jar, > HIVE-705_draft.patch > > > Add a serde over the hbase's tables, so that hive can analyse the data stored > in hbase easily. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
