Several integrations for accessing HBase from Spark have occurred in the past. The first experimental connector was developed by Cloudera Professional Services, which was called Spark on HBase. Cloudera included a derivative of this community version ( called hbase-spark) in both CDH 5 and CDH 6 Hortonworks also came up with an implementation, it was called SHC (Spark HBase connector). SHC was supported by HDP & CDP. But with CDP 7: Spark HBase Connector (SHC) is no longer supported in CDP.
