Release Note:

Hide
Allows direct creation of HFiles and location for them as part of HBaseStorageHandler write if the following properties are specified in the HQL:

set hive.hbase.generatehfiles=true;
set hfile.family.path=/tmp/columnfamily_name;

hfile.family.path can also be set as a table property, HQL value takes precedence.

Show
Allows direct creation of HFiles and location for them as part of HBaseStorageHandler write if the following properties are specified in the HQL: set hive.hbase.generatehfiles=true; set hfile.family.path=/tmp/columnfamily_name; hfile.family.path can also be set as a table property, HQL value takes precedence.

Description

Generating HFiles for bulkload into HBase could be more convenient. Right now we require the user to register a new table with the appropriate output format. This patch allows the exact same functionality, but through an existing table managed by the HBaseStorageHandler.
