Description

Phoenix (https://github.com/forcedotcom/phoenix) is an open source BSD-style licensed SQL skin over Apache HBase, delivered as a client-embedded JDBC driver. The Phoenix query engine transforms your SQL query into one or more HBase scans, and orchestrates their execution to produce standard JDBC result sets. Direct use of the HBase API, along with coprocessors and custom filters, results in performance on the order of milliseconds for small queries, or seconds for tens of millions of rows. Applications interact with Phoenix through a standard JDBC interface; all the usual interfaces are supported.

As an enhancement of significant value to Apache HBase, in a Bigtop distribution Phoenix would have a role similar to that of Datafu, a collection of enhancements to Apache Pig.
