系统环境：
Hbase：0.90.3
hive：0.7.0
hive 0.7.0自带的lib下包含文件“hbase-0.89.0-SNAPSHOT.jar”，我的hbase版本是0.90.3，首先拷贝hbase-0.90.3.jar到hive/lib下，然后删除“hbase-0.89.0-SNAPSHOT.jar”。
创建hive表、hbase表：
- CREATE TABLE hbase_table_1(key int, value string)
- STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler'
- WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,cf1:val")
- TBLPROPERTIES (" hbase.table.name " = "xyz");
其中属性hbase.table.name值"xyz"为hbase的表名，属性hbase.columns.mapping，"cf1:val"为列族名称。
在hive 客户端执行上面语句后，会在hive中生成表"hbase_table_1"，在hbase中生成表"xyz"
导入测试数据：
- hive> CREATE TABLE pokes (foo INT, bar STRING);
- hive> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH './examples/files/kv1.txt' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE pokes;
- hive> INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE hbase_table_1 SELECT * FROM pokes;
- hive> select * from hbase_table_1;
troubleshooting：

出现这个错误的原因是我引入的hbase包和hive自带的hive包冲突，删除hive/lib下的 hbase-0.89.0-SNAPSHOT.jar， OK了。
FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:Column Family department is not defined in hbase table hello)
当使用hive相关管理已经存在的hbase 多列table时，出现上面错误，而且列族“department ”的确存在，最终发现原因是：在hive中使用CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE 创建表的时候，"hbase.columns.mapping"的值中不能包含空格
