HBase Sample Schemas

[Bryan Duxbury]

All,

One of the more common types of questions we get from people new to  
HBase are about the differences in the schema between HBase and  
relational databases. So that we can generate some good examples of  
RDBMS schemas and their counterparts as they might be represented in  
HBase, could you guys post some small (1-5 entities) schemas that you  
might be interested in using and a few sentences about how you'd like  
to consume them? We can then discuss possible options and see how  
things might look. This will also help Stack, Jim, and myself to  
notice interesting access patterns we might want to support.

Thanks in advance,

Bryan
