What is Apache HBase?
Vaibhav KothiaApache HBase is a distributed, scalable, NoSQL database that is built on top of the Apache Hadoop platform. It is designed to provide random, real-time read/write access to data stored in the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). HBase is used for applications that require random, real-time read/write access to large datasets.
For example, HBase can be used to store large amounts of web clickstream data. The data can then be queried in real-time to provide insights into user behavior, such as which websites are most popular, or which pages are visited most often. HBase can also be used to store large amounts of data from IoT devices, such as temperature readings from sensors. This data can then be queried to provide insights into the environment, such as average temperature over a certain time period.
