Earlier in the week I attended a really presentation on HBase at a local
Hadoop user group. For anyone interested you can view the slides at
http://www.slideshare.net/trihug/intro-to-apache-hbase-by-chris-shain-of-tresata.
For those not familiar, HBase is a semi-structured, column-oriented
database, though nothing like a database in the traditional sense. HBase
does not have transactions, indexes, etc. like you find with an RDBMS.
HBase is particularly well suited for time series data and write
intensive applications. It is something to think about for metrics and
event logging.
