Apache HBase

Hadoop database for random real-time access to big data

About Apache HBase

A distributed, scalable big data store modelled after Google Bigtable, running on HDFS to provide random, real-time read and write access to very large tables with billions of rows. Its open development model means documentation, plugins and community support are publicly available, and organisations can contribute fixes upstream instead of waiting on a vendor roadmap. For many teams it becomes long-lived infrastructure: simple to back up, straightforward to automate and independent of per-seat pricing as usage grows steadily.
