Hi Daniel, Integrating Hive with HBase does not solve the query latency problem, but it does allow you to run Hive queries against data which is being continuously updated -- something which is not possible with Hive alone.
The following documents do a good job of discussing the use-cases that are supported by the Hive HBaseHandler: http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2010/06/integrating-hive-and-hbase/ http://www.slideshare.net/hadoopusergroup/hive-h-basehadoopapr2010(particularly slides 5-7) Thanks.
