Introduction To HBASE
HBASE is the database which stores huge amount of data and we can retrieve data in a random manner.
HBASE is distributed column-oriented database which is built on top of the haddop file system.Tables in it are sorted by row.
Column-oriented databses : Databases that store data tables as sections of columns of data , rather than row of data . It is suitable for Online Analytical Processing.
HBASE is a part of Hadoop eco system.
HBASE internally uses Hash tables and provides random access , and it stores the data in indexed HDFS files for faster lookups.
HBASE is schema – less. It doesn’t have the concept of fixed column schema.
In HBASE ,
1. Table is a collection of rows
2. Row is a collection of column – families.
3. Column family is a collection of columns
4. Column is a collection of key-value pairs.
HBASE is used whenever there is a need to write heavy applications.
HBASE is used whenever we need to provide random access to available data.
