 hindex - Secondary Index for HBase
 ======
 
-The HBase Secondary Index supports the following features:
-- Supports multiple indexes on table and multi column index
-- Support indexing part of a column value
-- Support for equals and range condition scans using index.
-- Support bulk loading data to indexed table – Indexing done with bulk load
-- Compatible with Apache HBase 0.94.8
+The solution is 100% Java, compatible with Apache HBase 0.94.8, and is open sourced under ASL.
+
+Following capabilities are supported currently.
+- multiple indexes on table,
+- multi column index,
+- index based on part of a column value,
+- equals and range condition scans using index, and
+- bulk loading data to indexed table (Indexing done with bulk load).
