DataStage to support numeric Column Family (CF) in HBase

Currently, DataStage only supports alphabetic (letters) Column Family (CF) in HBase tables and it is a common practice to create numeric CF in HBase tables (e.g. the default CF is zero). Therefore, if CF has a numeric value DataStage cannot write data in HBase tables.

    Hello, has this idea been done? If so, can you confirm what version of Information Server should be installed in order to have this enhancement? Thanks!

    This status 'future consideration' means we have taken your need into account, and will run an analysis on the feasibility of this feature. As of now, we cannot provide an estimate of when it will be made available in the product, but the next release might be a candidate, based on the result of our investigation.

    I hope it clarifies.

    No easy way of working with Phoenix if this is not included in the product. Other market solutions will be then considered.

    Status has changed to Future Consideration. What's the estimate to have a new update about the chance to be included as new requirement in the product roadmap ?
