I realize that this is an HBase group, however nothing in the stated problem would suggest that an RDBMs couldn't handle the problem. Inserting 10K rows every 5 minutes poses a challenge to the database?
I guess it would be a challenge based on the size and type of data along with the database, schema, hardware, etc... Essentially YMMV. I'm not sure that switching to HBase would solve their problem. > Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:09:13 -0700 > From: otis_gospodne...@yahoo.com > Subject: Re: Should I use HBASE? > To: user@hbase.apache.org > > Hi, > > I'd guess that you could relatively easily write something that writes that > much data into your RDBMS and see how writes start behaving over time and how > fast reads are after you are done with all writes. > Over at Sematext we have this thing called Scalable Performance Monitoring > [1] service and we chose HBase to store all performance metrics, but we keep > a LOT of data (points). > > [1] http://sematext.com/spm/index.html > > > Not coincidentally, we also have HBase-specific monitoring and reports there. > > Otis > > > > > >From: stable29 <arpita...@gmail.com> > >To: hbase-u...@hadoop.apache.org > >Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 6:02 AM > >Subject: Should I use HBASE? > > > > > >Currently I am using RDBMS in my project.
