Currently, I am connecting to Hbase, Trift and Python and was curious if
Avro does something similar to Thrift. The problem with thrift is it
doesn´t support coprocessors and other features of hbase. Would Avro do a
better job of handling?  Also, what is a typical use case of Avro and Hbase

The thrift gateway is getting dev love; see 0.94 or TRUNK.  The avro
gateway has seen little change since it was originally added.

What are you missing from thrift?

The lads and lasses over at wibidata use avro in a different
dimension, in a layer they have built above hbase into which they have
built some interesting facility.  I doubt they use the hbase avro
gateway at all.

Thanks. You answered my question. 0.94 looks really exciting!
