MapR is a complete distribution for Apache Hadoop including HBase. The improvements to using HBase with MapR come from the MapR filesystem and MapR control system. For e.g. you will get: 1. Better performance 2. Mirroring and point-in-time snapshots to protect your data 3. High availability of services since there are no single-point-of-failures 4. NFS access to HBase log files 5. Alarms, space-usage tracking, and heatmap for monitoring of the cluster

See http://www.mapr.com/products/only-with-mapr.html for more examples.

Same answer goes for Hive.

Both Hive and Hbase run with no code changes on MapR. Even without any special code, they run considerably faster. Realistic HBase work-loads have demonstrated a speedup of MapR relative to stock Hadoop of about 4-6x.
