HI,
I have been using the Thrift Perl API to connect to Hbase for my web app.
At the moment i only perform random reads and scans based on date ranges
and some other search criteria.
It works and I am still testing performance.

Hi,
I am planning to make a search engine for news articles. It will
probably
have over several billions of news articles so I thought HBase is the
way to
go.
However, I am very new to CGI. All I know is that you use php, python or
java script with HTML to make a web site and communicate with the
backend
database such as MySQL.
But I am going to use HBase, not MySQL, and I can't seem to find a
script
language that provides any form of API to communicate with HBase.
So what do I do?
Do I have to make a web site with pure Java? Is that even possible?
It is possible, if you know things like JSP, Java servelets etc.
For people comfortable with PHP or Python, I think Apache Thrift
(http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/) is an alternative.

Or is using Hbase as the backend Database a bad idea in the first place?
