# tHBaseInput

Reads data from a given HBase database and extracts columns of selection.

HBase is a distributed, column-oriented database that hosts very large, sparsely populated tables on clusters.

tHBaseInput extracts columns corresponding to schema definition. Then it passes these columns to the next component via a Main row link.
