What Is HBASE

HBase is a database management system built on top of HDFS that allows for real-time read and write access of large amounts of data stored in HDFS. It is column-oriented and schema-less, with data stored in tables by row key and column family. HBase provides big table-like capabilities for HDFS by enabling random, real-time access of data beyond HDFS's sequential access.

What is HBASE?

HBase is a database management system designed in 2007 by powerset which is now in


Microsoft company.
Hbase is based on googles big table. It is completely Nosql datastore.
Hbase rests on top of HDFS and enables real-time analysis of data.
You can store a huge amount of data in a tabular format for extremely fast reads and writes
operations.
It is completely column family oriented.
One can store the data in HDFS either directly or through HBase.
Data consumer reads or accesses the data in HDFS randomly using HBase. HBase sits on top of
the Hadoop File System and provides read and write access.

Why HBASE?
We know that,
HDFS stores, processes, and manages large amount of data efficiently. However, it performs
only batch processing and the data will be accessed in a sequential manner.
Therefore a solution is required to access, read or write data anytime regardless of its sequence in
the clusters of data
Hbase is modeled after googles big table, which is a distributed source system for structured
data.
just as bigtable distributed data storage provided by the google file system,
HBASE provides big tables like capabilities on top of Hadoop or HDFS.

Characteristics of Hbase:
 Hbase is a type of nosql database and is classified as a key-value store

 Which means binary format can be stored easily


 Values are stored in key orders and can be quickly accessed by their keys.

 Hbase is a database in which tables have no schema. At the time of table creation,

column families are defined, not columns are defined at the time of table creation.
