Hive quering on existing table in HBase

[Vishal M. Katkar]

I've created table in HIVE using CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE command for existing
table in HBase.

I'm able to see the table through HIVE shell

But while querying on the table through HIVE, returns '0' records. Through
logs identified that HIVE is executing MAP-REDUCE program in HADOOP and not
in HBase

Have I missed anything in configuring Hive and HBase?
