Tool of the Day: Apache HBase Apache HBase is the Hadoop database, a distributed, scalable, big data store. HBase is an open source, non-relational, distributed database modeled after Google'sBigTable and is written in Java. It is developed as part of Apache Software Foundation'sApache Hadoop project and runs on top of HDFS (Hadoop Distributed Filesystem), providing BigTable-like capabilities for Hadoop.
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 Home page: http://hbase.apache.org/ regards, dhanasekar _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
