Apache HBase [1] is an open-source, distributed, versioned, column-oriented
|
|
|
|
|
store modeled after Google' Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for
|
|
|
|
|
Structured Data by Chang et al.[2] Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed
|
|
|
|
|
data storage provided by the Google File System, HBase provides Bigtable-like
|
|
|
|
|
capabilities on top of Apache Hadoop [3].
