Greetings! We are an ISV of ETL/DI/DQ software and desire to support
connections to HBase for "classic tabular" data like one would store in an
RDBMS. To that end, I am trying to better understand how people typically use
HBase to store this type of data. Hive appears to wrap HBase and provide a
meta-data layer, and users on @hadoop have commented that Phoenix and Lingual
are also used, as well as various home-grown solutions. But we're really
interested in the most common uses and conventions. Can you comment on what
"most people" actually use in production. We are not really bleeding-edge
(other than running in Hadoop, which I suppose makes us bleeding edge), in the
sense that our customers tend to come from a server/RDBMS world and are very
comfortable with that paradigm.
Thanks,
John
