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.

Full text indexing using Hbase


Text messages (e-mail, chat, and so on) have become the most widespread method of communication, so there is much value to be extracted by making all text searchable and readily available for further analysis. This common scenario is applicable to different use cases where you have large volumes (ongoing) of content updates that need to be pushed into live search indexes and content should be instantly (near real-time) searchable.

Some common use cases that involve text analysis are customer satisfaction, customer sentiment analysis of the people texting, interest of the customer on which targeted advertising can be done, and others.

Every company or business domain can extract tremendous value based on its own business needs if they can understand the text communication in various forms.

Thus, it becomes important to collect, share, search, and do deep mining on the datasets that all of us are transacting everyday.

These texts can be of a very structured format...
