Hello Keith, Now HBase has a MOB feature in trunk (HBASE-11339), but it is not in any release branch. It might be merged back to 1.3 or 1.4 later. If your blob size is large (100KB-10MB), you could try this. In table design with this feature, you could store the blob in a single column family with MOB enabled, and store other things in other CFs. Hope this can help.

I have json hierarchical data blobs that I want to store to HBASE. What are the good books / resources out there on table / schema design. Particularly I want to know what are the best practices for storing repeated columns, nested entities, store them as sub json blob... Thanks, keith
