Features / Advantage / Disadvantage / use case of HBase

 Features of HBase NoSQL DB

  • Scalability: HBase supports scalability in both linear and modular form.
  • Sharding: HBase supports automatic sharding of tables. It is also configurable.
  • Distributed storage: HBase supports distributed storage like HDFS.
  • Consistency: It supports consistent read and write operations.
  • Failover support: HBase supports automatic failover.
  • API support: HBase supports Java APIs so clients can access it easily.
  • MapReduce support: HBase supports MapReduce for parallel processing of large volume of data. 
  • Back up support: HBase supports back up of Hadoop MapReduce jobs in HBase tables. 
  • Real time processing: It supports block cache and Bloom filters. So, real time query processing is easy. 
  • Apart from the above major features, HBase also supports REST-ful web services, jruby-based shell, Ganglia and JMX. So, HBase has a very strong presence in the NoSQL database world.

Advantages of HBase

  • Can store large data sets.
  • Database can be shared.
  • Cost-effective from gigabytes to petabytes.
  • High availability through failover and replication 

Disadvantages of HBase

  • No support SQL structure.
  • No transaction support.
  • Sorted only on key.
  • Memory issues on the cluster 

Some use cases

  • There are a lot of real-life implementations of HBase. Some of the important use cases are:
    • Use of HBase by Mozilla: They generally store all crash data in HBase
    • Use of HBase by Facebook: Facebook uses HBase storage to store real-time messages.
    • It is used whenever there is a need to write heavy applications.

Why We Need Hadoop?

What is Hadoop? It is an open source framework or system which was fully developed by Java.  It is allow us to implement Big Data.  Hadoop can be used for storing and processing huge datasets with cluster of commodity hardware. Because its stores the data and processing in a distributed manner.  It made up of several components which entirely open source. Doug Cutting is the inventor of hadoop. He used elephant symbol. His child used to play with elephant toy. So he used that toy name as symbol and named for new invention. Why we need to go for Hadoop? 1. High Throughput and Low latency queries Less amount of time it will take to run/process real time queries or near real time queires. We can achieve high throughput in hadoop using below techniques.  Parallel Processing WORM Data Locality 2. Distributed computing A distributed computer system consists of multiple software components that are on multiple computers, but run as a single system.  The computers that ...

Unix Overview

 History of Unix In 1970, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson's started devloping Unix in AT&T. 1972 they developed unix using 'C'. 1975 they spreads outside. (With free license and source code) Its an open source. Different flavours available at free of costs. Unix is case sensitive. Production versions only available in Unix. Linux Linux is a light weight version of Unix. Linux derived/Inspired from Unix. Linux is an open source but we have to get BSD license for using UNIX. Unix is not a open source. Also GNU license need for installing Unix. BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) GNU (GNU General Public License) Linux is journal purpose computer operating system. Originally build by Linus Torvalds and released in 1991. Linux is defined by its Kernal which is the core component of the system. It interact computer hardware to software for work. Here the software and OS will be free for free of cost and freely modifiable. (GNU General Public License) Linux is popular from ma...
