This is an HBase schema design question. Suppose I store blog enty details
in an hbase table:
blogid, blog_content, blog_author, blog_subject.
My query is such that it always retrieves all this data at the same time.
So is it a better idea to store all this in a single json/protobuf object or
actually separate out the details into column families?
Option1:
Table RowKey Column Family Value
Blogs BlogId Details JSON(Content,
Author, Subject)
Option2:
Table RowKey Column Family
Blogs BlogId Content
Author
Subject
I was thinking of option1 because it seems it might be faster since all
details will be physically stored together. But option2 is what seems to be
the trend when I look at other basic HBase schema examples out there.
Please let me know opinions and if I am on the right track...
Thanks in advance.
