HBase High Performance Cookbook

By: Ruchir Choudhry

Overview of this book

Apache HBase is a non-relational NoSQL database management system that runs on top of HDFS. It is an open source, disturbed, versioned, column-oriented store and is written in Java to provide random real-time access to big Data. We’ll start off by ensuring you have a solid understanding the basics of HBase, followed by giving you a thorough explanation of architecting a HBase cluster as per our project specifications. Next, we will explore the scalable structure of tables and we will be able to communicate with the HBase client. After this, we’ll show you the intricacies of MapReduce and the art of performance tuning with HBase. Following this, we’ll explain the concepts pertaining to scaling with HBase. Finally, you will get an understanding of how to integrate HBase with other tools such as ElasticSearch. By the end of this book, you will have learned enough to exploit HBase for boost system performance.

Integrating elastic search with Hbase


In this case study, we will concentrate on how we can take advantage of using a lighting-fast open source search engine called elastic search to cater to the analytic world.

Elastic search brings many advantages in terms of speed and flexibility and has weak constituency; combining it with the Apache Phoenix engine as an integration bridge that connects to Hbase as a primary source of data makes for a robust proposition.
