title: Create External Hive Table Pointing to HBase Table
body: <p>I have a table named <code>"HISTORY"</code> in HBase having column family <code>"VDS"</code> and the column names <code>ROWKEY, ID, START_TIME, END_TIME, VALUE.</code> I am using Cloudera Hadoop Distribution. I want to provide SQL interface to HBase table using Impala. In order to do this we have to create respective External Table in Hive? So how to create external hive table pointing to this HBase table? </p>
