Hello, I tried the shell command which Swarnim kindly provided and it allows me to map an existing HBase table into Hive. However, since my qualifiers are long but map only accepts string as a key, the result is garbled. Even with the suggested patch which allows binary keys, the resulting datatype in Hive would not be long but binary, making it hard to query from shell. It seems there is no API for now, right?
Currently, is there any way to map HBase byte[] to Hive datatypes? The assumption is, that all byte[] were generated using Hadoop's Byte.toBytes(<type>) method and that either all row keys, qualifiers and values share the same data type respectively (for example: row keys are ints, qualifiers are longs and values are strings).
