HBase is column-oriented by design, where HBase tables are stored in ColumnFamilies and each ColumnFamily can have multiple columns. A ColumnFamily's data are stored in multiple files in multiple Regions where a Region holds the data for a particular range of row keys. To manage Regions, MasterServer assigns multiple Regions to a RegionServer. The flexibility in the design of HBase is due to the flexible RegionServers and Regions, and is controlled by a single MasterServer. HBase Architecture uses Zookeeper to manage the coordination and resource management aspects which are needed to be highly available in a distributed environment. Data management in HBase is efficiently carried out by the splitting and compaction processes carried out in Regions to optimize the data for high volume reading and writing. For processing a high volume of write requests, we have two levels of Cache WAL in RegionServer and MemStore in Regions. If the data for a particular range or...

Overview of this book
This book jumps into the world of Hadoop and its tools, to help you learn how to use them effectively to optimize and improve the way you handle Big Data.
Starting with the fundamentals Hadoop YARN, MapReduce, HDFS, and other vital elements in the Hadoop ecosystem, you will soon learn many exciting topics such as MapReduce patterns, data management, and real-time data analysis using Hadoop. You will also explore a number of the leading data processing tools including Hive and Pig, and learn how to use Sqoop and Flume, two of the most powerful technologies used for data ingestion. With further guidance on data streaming and real-time analytics with Storm and Spark, Hadoop Essentials is a reliable and relevant resource for anyone who understands the difficulties - and opportunities - presented by Big Data today.
With this guide, you'll develop your confidence with Hadoop, and be able to use the knowledge and skills you learn to successfully harness its unparalleled capabilities.
