I'm sorry to hear that you ran into those issues. While I agree that running and operating HBase isn't as simple as it could be, I disagree with your conclusion. Other companies are rather successful at running HBase in production for user-facing low-latency systems, e.g. StumbleUpon or Facebook. Scaling things is never easy, whether it's a "NoSQL" thing or a "MySQL" thing. But either way, it's doable. -- Benoit "tsuna" Sigoure Software Engineer @ www.StumbleUpon.com
