Help in generating a report from hbase using pig

Hello All,

I am very new to pig and trying to use pig scripts to generate daily
reports from hbase.I have an hbase table with a single column family.My
requirement is to extract this data from hbase and convert it to a
report.Below are some questions that came to my mind:

Is there a way to load only required rows from hbase.My hbase row key has
a salting (0 to 60) as the first part and then a reversetimestamp.How do I
load rows only for the current day?.

Thanks,
Nishanth
