-Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database
-modeled after Google's Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured
-Data by Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage
-provided by the Google File System, Apache HBase provides Bigtable-like
-capabilities on top of Hadoop and HDFS.
-
-Features:
--- Linear and modular scalability
--- Strictly consistent reads and writes
--- Automatic and configurable sharding of tables
--- Automatic failover support between RegionServers
--- Convenient base classes for backing Hadoop MapReduce jobs with
- Apache HBase tables
--- Easy to use Java API for client access
--- Block cache and Bloom Filters for real-time queries
--- Query predicate push down via server side Filters
--- Thrift gateway and a REST-ful Web service that supports XML, Protobuf
- and binary data encoding options
--- Extensible jruby-based (JIRB) shell
--- Support for exporting metrics via the Hadoop metrics subsystem to files
- or Ganglia, or via JMX
