hbase data is only on hdfs and in memory noting is stored or processed on local disk unless its in hdfs. The current 0.19 data format is hadoop MapFile you can look it up in there api docs. 0.20 will have a new data file format not MapFile any longer I thank its called HFile in hbase trunk

Thanks for quick response.
I agree HBase keeps data on HDFS.
But my question is there must be some data structure at HBase side to store
data, what's that ?
or it is totally handled by HDFS ??
