Hi Miguel, What does your configuration look like after you made the initial changes? As far as I can tell, the HbaseSink only has the ability to load into one column family, so declaring two of them probably won't help.
The fact that you're getting different values in the same column leads me to believe that your column values are split across multiple events. Is that accurate? What did the event that produced two values in one column look like?
