Maybe, and somebody tried over here using urlib:
https://github.com/tousif/Hwrapper/tree/master/Hwrapper
(which I have never used, so I have no idea if the code even works)
but since HBase is all about really, really, really big tables
I suspect there are some optimisations that you need to have to
get decent performance at all.  But again, I haven't used the thing
so my opinion isn't worth much.
