Hi, I am planning to make a search engine for news articles. It will probably have over several billions of news articles so I thought HBase is the way to go.
However, I am very new to CGI. All I know is that you use php, python or java script with HTML to make a web site and communicate with the backend database such as MySQL. But I am going to use HBase, not MySQL, and I can't seem to find a script language that provides any form of API to communicate with HBase. So what do I do? Do I have to make a web site with pure Java? Is that even possible? Or is using Hbase as the backend Database a bad idea in the first place?
