Swarnim Kulkarni commented on HIVE-2599: ---------------------------------------- {quote} Am I correct that the patch takes care of both selects and inserts? {quote} Unfortunately no. This one would allow to querying of custom composite keys but currently doesn't support writing them back to HBase. Do you want me to include that support as a part of this patch itself or open up a separate issue for that? > Support Composit/Compound Keys with HBaseStorageHandler > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2599 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2599 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: HBase Handler > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Hans Uhlig > Assignee: Swarnim Kulkarni > Attachments: HIVE-2599.1.patch.txt, HIVE-2599.2.patch.txt, > HIVE-2599.2.patch.txt > > > It would be really nice for hive to be able to understand composite keys from > an underlying HBase schema. Currently we have to store key fields twice to be > able to both key and make data available. I noticed John Sichi mentioned in > HIVE-1228 that this would be a separate issue but I cant find any follow up. > How feasible is this in the HBaseStorageHandler? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
