In this chapter, we discussed the future aspect of HBase and the different use cases being implemented in the industry using HBase, its process flow, and architecture.

Today, the need of HBase is growing rapidly and we can get the list of companies whose projects are powered by HBase at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/PoweredBy.

After reading this book, you should be able to move forward and design the use cases, performing administrative tasks and writing codes for HBase. Furthermore, the reader can always visit HBase Wiki, the HBase Apache website, and HBase source site for more updated and recent information.

HBase use has grown a lot but it still has a long way to go.
