Hadoop mapreduce streaming by HBase

Question

I am creating a mapproduce Hadoop (0.20.1) job that uses HBase (0.20.1) as a data source and data receiver. I would like to write a work in Python that required me to use hasoop-0.20.1-streaming.jar to stream data in and out of Python scripts. This works great if the data source / receiver is HDFS files.

Does Hadoop support streaming from / to HBase for mapreduce?

Answer 1

This is similar to what I want, but it is not part of the Hadoop distribution. Any other suggestions or comments are still welcome.
