Hi Raffi, To read up on fundamentals I suggest Google's BigTable paper: http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html
Detail on how HBase implements the BigTable architecture within the Hadoop ecosystem can be found here: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/HbaseArchitecture http://www.larsgeorge.com/2009/10/hbase-architecture-101-storage.html http://www.larsgeorge.com/2010/01/hbase-architecture-101-write-ahead-log.html Hope that helps, - Andy > From: Basmajian, Raffi <rbasmaj...@oppenheimerfunds.com> > Subject: RE: Using SPARQL against HBase > To: hbase-user@hadoop.apache.org, apurt...@apache.org > Date: Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 11:42 AM > If Hbase can't respond to SPARQL-like queries, then what type > of query language can it respond to?
