Yes, it is possible to store image in HBase and Read images directly from HBase table.
Store byte[] of an image in one column. You will be able to retrieve the image. Also, you can use http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#_rest to retrieve the image. Just use this request header: "

Accept: application/octet-stream

"
We at Truecar.com are using HBase to store millions of Images. Recently, we presented our use case at Hadoop Summit 2015. Soon, we will share slides and more details in a blogpost.

Also have a look at this enhancement HBase jira for storing images: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11339

Here is an old presentation for storing image yfrom.com : http://www.slideshare.net/jacque74/hug-hbase-presentation
