title: Is there an Alternative for HBaseStorage in PIG
body: <p>I am using HBaseStorage with -caching option in pig script as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>HBaseStorage('countDetails:ansCount countDetails:divCount countDetails:unansCount countDetails:engCount countDetails:ineffCount countDetails:totalCount', '-caching 1000');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can see this was reflecting in my job.xml
  but I can see there is no time difference in it I am processing 10 million records and store data around 160mb in to HBase.
  When I store the result in hdfs its taking 3 mins to process the same job takes 30mins to store into HBase.</p>
  
  <p>I even tried by setting </p>
  
  <pre><code>SET hbase.client.scanner.caching 1000;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please let me know how can I reduce the time.
  Is there any alternative for HBaseStorage?

  <p>the above blog says that I have to set hbase.client.scanner.caching in bootstrap scrip
  I don't know how to do that
  will it be enough If I set it in Hbase-conf.
  Please help me out of this</p>
