John Omernik commented on DRILL-4620:
-------------------------------------
I see someone closed this as not a bug already. But more details here:
https://drill.apache.org/docs/querying-hbase/
This is how HBASE data is returned to Drill, you can create a view to change
how's returned to the user like this
CREATE VIEW view_hbase_table as
SELECT CONVERT_FROM(row_key, 'UTF8') AS rowkey,
CONVERT_FROM(cf1.c1, 'UTF8') AS c1,
CONVERT_FROM(cf1.c2, 'UTF8') AS c2,
CONVERT_FROM(cf2.c3, 'UTF8') AS c3,
CONVERT_FROM(cf3.c1, 'UTF8') AS c4
FROM `hbase_table`;
Then selecting from the view will show the correct data. If you do maprdb, then
instead of hbase_table, you'd have /path/to/maprdb_table.

> However query the generated table in drill showing base64 encoded results but

> HBase Shell; enter 'help<RETURN>' for list of supported commands.
