Greetings! We would like to support HBase in a general manner, having our software connect to any HBase table and read/write it in a row-oriented fashion. However, as we explore HBase, the raw interface is at a very low level -- basically a map from binary record keys to named columns. So my question about metadata standards. What do users mostly do to use HBase for row-oriented access? It is always going through Hive? Thanks john
