Can Matlab communicate with HBase database (Hadoop base database), writing to/reading from HBase? If so, are there any helpful links that talk about how to do that?

Looking for information about if Matlab can communicate with HBase database (Hadoop base database)? I saw that there is Database Toolbox in Matlab, but not quite sure if the Database Toolbox supports Matlab communication with HBase database? Any helpful information is appreciated.

From what I have seen so far, it does not appear to work out of the box. There looks to be support for MongoDB and Cassandra, but nothing specific to HBase. Apache Phoenix is a tool that interfaces with HBase on one end and takes standard SQL inputs, and should work using JDBC drivers.

I am actively working on this approach. I will keep this updated when I make some progress.
