<question><para>Does HBase support SQL?</para></question>
<answer>
<para>
Not really. SQL-ish support for HBase via <link xlink:href="http://hive.apache.org/">Hive</link> is in development, however Hive is based on MapReduce which is not generally suitable for low-latency requests.
See the <link linkend="datamodel">Data Model</link> section for examples on the HBase client.

<question><para>How does HBase work on top of HDFS?</para></question>
<answer>
<para>
<link xlink:href="http://hadoop.apache.org/hdfs/">HDFS</link> is a distributed file system that is well suited for the storage of large files. It's documentation
states that it is not, however, a general purpose file system, and does not provide fast individual record lookups in files.
HBase, on the other hand, is built on top of HDFS and provides fast record lookups (and updates) for large tables. This can sometimes be a point of conceptual confusion.
See the <link linkend="datamodel">Data Model</link> and <link linkend="architecture">Architecture</link> sections for more information on how HBase achieves its goals.
