This tutorial explains basics of HBase, and its features. Here I tried to explain functionality HBase provides and a quick start about HBase, a Basic tutorial for beginners. You will get to know where to use HBase, in which situation HBase can be useful.<\/p>\n

What is HBase?<\/h1>\n

HBase \u2013 Soft Introduction and Quickstart<\/p><\/div>\n

HBase is an open source, distributed, versioned, column-oriented, No-SQL \/ Non-relational database management system that runs on the top of Hadoop (To Install Hadoop Follow this installation Guide<\/a>). It adds transactional capability to hadoop, allowing users to update data records.<\/p>\n

Hadoop is designed for batch processing of large dataset, but with HBase on the top of Hadoop we can process real time dataset.<\/p>\n

In HBase a master node manages the cluster and region servers store portions of the tables and perform the work on the data. An HBase system comprises a set of tables. Each table contains rows and columns, much like a traditional database.<\/p>\n

Each table must have an element defined as a Primary Key, and all access attempts to HBase tables must use this Primary Key. An HBase column represents an attribute of an object<\/p>\n
