Description

Current HBase Hive integration supports reading many values from the same row by specifying a column family. And specifying just the column family can pull in all qualifiers within the family.

We should add in support to be able to specify a prefix for the qualifier and all columns that start with the prefix would automatically get pulled in. A wildcard support would be ideal.
