Hi,

I'm a newbie of hbase. I wonder how is Hbase scalable to increasing columns?
Do I regard column as just like rows? For instance, I will design a
data model that increases in columns as rows grow, like a square
matrix. The number of rows may be at least 100 billion. Is it
appropriate to Hbase architecture design?

In theory, we should be able to go there. In practise, we've had but limited experience with tables in low billions of rows and there is a flaw that limits the number of columns in a family (HBASE-867) that should be fixed in the release after the pending 0.19.0.
