HBase in industry today


With the increase in demand for Big Data day by day in order to solve the problems comprising planet-size data, HBase is one of the players due to its characteristic of persistent read performance. Using these systems, one can store and analyze data in coordination with various other tools.

Also features such as HBase running on cloud and expanding and reducing on demand will enable even small-scale companies to use its services. With the increasing demand of data storage space, the need to process it and represent unstructured data into a structured format can be achieved by HBase.

The new sub and open projects that are being created, which enables HBase to support SQL queries (Phoenix), will surely boost and prepare conventional SQL developers to perform queries on HBase. This provides us with a facility to query faster than any other relational database system with the data of terabytes and petabytes' size.
