title: how to join tables in hbase
body: <p>I have to join tables in Hbase. </p>
  
  <p>I integrated HIVE and HBase and that is working well. I can query using HIVE.</p>
  
  <p>But can somebody help me how to join tables in HBase without using HIVE. I think using mapreduce we can achieve this, if so can anybody share a working example that I can refer.</p>
  
  <p>Please share your opinions.</p>
  
  <p>I have an approach in mind. That is,</p>
  
  <p>If I need to JOIN tables A x B x C; 
  I may use TableMapReduceUtil to iterate over A, then get Data from B and C inside the TableMapper. Then use the TableReducer to write back to another table Y.</p>
  
  <p>Will this approach be a good one.</p>
