尝试了从配置单元处理hbase中的表的一个示例。
create external table命令成功，但select语句给出了类强制转换异常
env:hive 0.12.0、hbase 0.96.1、hadoop 2.2、ubuntu 12.04 on virtual box

hive> SHOW TABLES;                                                                   
OK
hbatablese_myhive
Time taken: 0.309 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)
hive> SELECT * FROM hbatablese_myhive;
OK

**失败，出现异常

java.io.IOException:java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Result cannot be cast to org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable**
Time taken: 1.179 seconds

hive> 

The same table on HBASE console:

hbase(main):002:0> scan 'myhive'
