DESCRIPTION
When you're dealing with big data, traditional databases don't cut it. Use the right tool for the job. HBase is a NoSQL storage system designed from the ground up for fast, random access to large volumes of data. Built on Hadoop, it runs on commodity hardware and scales along with you from modest datasets up to millions of columns and billions of rows.
HBase in Action provides all the knowledge you need to design, build, and run applications using HBase. First, it introduces you to the fundamentals of distributed systems and large scale data handling. Then, you'll explore real-world applications and code samples with just enough theory to understand the practical techniques. You'll see how to build applications with HBase and take advantage of the MapReduce processing framework. Along the way you'll learn patterns and best practices.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- When and how to use HBase.
- Practical examples and real-world applications.
- Design patterns for scalable data systems.
- Deployment, integration, and design.
Written for architects and developers familiar with data storage and processing. No prior knowledge of HBase, Hadoop, or MapReduce is required.
