Remote access to Hypertable from C++

I have sucessfully installed Hypertable on top of Hadoop on a small cluster of Ubunto servers. At this point the only way to access the Hypertable is via the 'ht shell' comm开发者_StackOverflow社区and on one of the HT servers.

Thats all very interesting, but now I want to access the hypertable database from a PC thats not part of the cluster. Preferably from C++ - preferably on a Windows box.

It looks like I need a Vistual Studio compatible build of libHypertable.

According to the mailing list, if you use the Thrift interface, you only need Client.h, ThriftHelper.* and gen-cpp/* from the src/cc/ThriftBroker directory to build a VS project. Native client would need more than libHypertable.a and is currently not yet ported to Windows. BTW, there are reports on the mailing lists that C# works fine via the thrift interface.
