Hey,

Is there a socket or library API for accessing Hypertable?

Take care,
Matt

There is a C++ library API for accessing Hypertable.  The best way to get introduced to it is to look at the Apache Log example.  You can find it in the examples/apache_log directory in the source tarball.  Be sure to pull the latest source from the git repository (see http://code.google.com/p/hypertable/wiki/SourceCode?tm=4) because the API has been cleaned up considerably since the 0.9.0.4 release.

As far as a socket API goes, there currently is no plan for one.  However, we're planning to have a Thrift broker which will listen on a socket and speak the Thrift protocol.  This will provide many popular language bindings.
