Hi, I am working on a new project and the amount of data that will be accumulated has a tendency to get quite large. In fact, in case the project movers forward, we'll probably be looking at a terabyte of data in two or three years max. I am very keen to work on hbase and hadoop, but especially for the case of hbase, the material I've found so far does not look promising for using it as backend of an information system. For warehouse type storage that will scale to very large amounts, things look very promising. The question is: are there any practices, recommended methods etc for implementing a hbase based backend for an information system like a web based app or a medium sized enterprise application with a couple of hundred users? The original bigfile paper by Google gives names of some google application which are very responsive and obviously require real time query/insert etc. Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated a lot. Hybrid approaches with rdbms etc?
Best Regards Seref Arikan
