According to me HBase need to store more metadata than hive (For each value it stores seperately row key , col_family ,col_name,value) and file size of original hdfs file may increase in size I also wondered this if anyone has got better result for hbase than hive let us know. Thank You On

Start by telling us your row key design. Check for pre splitting your table regions. I managed to get to 25mb/sec write throughput in Hbase using 1 region server. If your data is evenly spread you can get around 7 times that in a 10 regions server environment. Should mean that 1 gig should take 4

Hello Austin, I am sorry for the late response. Asaf has made a very valid point. Rowkwey design is very crucial. Specially if the data is gonna be sequential(timeseries kinda thing). You may end up with hotspotting problem. Use pre-splitted tables or hash the keys to avoid that. It'll

Loading data, hbase slower than Hive?

Hi, Problem: hive took 6 mins to load a data set, hbase took 1 hr 14 mins. It's a 20 gb data set approx 230 million records. The data is in hdfs, single text file. The cluster is 11 nodes, 8 cores. I loaded this in hive, partitioned by date and bucketed into 32 and sorted. Time taken is 6 mins.

The writes take longer in HBase. Just how much longer may depend on how well you tuned HBase. Now, having said that... suppose you want to find a single record in either HBase or Hive. Which do you think will be faster? ;-) On Jan 17, 2013, at 10:44 AM, Austin Chungath austi...@gmail.com

In case of Hive data insertion means placing the file under table path in HDFS. HBase need to read the data and convert it into its format. (HFiles) MR is doing this work.. So this makes it clear that HBase will be slower. :) As Michael said the read operation... -Anoop- On Thu, Jan 17,

Just to add to whatever all the heavyweights have said above, your MR job may not be as efficient as the MR job corresponding to your Hive query. You can enhance the performance by setting the mapred config parameters wisely and by tuning your MR job. Warm Regards, Tariq https://mtariq.jux.com/
