Hello! We have a web site currently built on linux/apache/mysql/php. Most pages do some mysql queries and then stuff the results into php/html templates. We've been hitting the limits of what our database can handle, and what we can do in realtime for the site. Our plan is to move our data over to Hbase, precomputing as much as we can (some queries we currently do with joins in mysql, for example). Our pages would then be pulling rows from Hbase to stuff into templates.
We're still working on getting Hbase working with the amount of data we want to be able to handle, so haven't yet been able to test it for performance. Is anyone else using Hbase in this way, and what has been your experience with realtime performance? I haven't really seen examples of people using Hbase this way - another approach would be for us to use Hadoop/Hbase/mapreduce for computation then put results back into mysql or whatever for realtime access. Any experience or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks, Mike
