I'd suggest you not do 'proof of concept' on standalone hbase loading up 100M rows. The picture you'll get will be skewed. Do 1M small rows in standalone. Get yourself a cluster north of 5 nodes if you are serious about your hbase evaluation. Read over the wiki and mailing lists to learn from the experience of others (Read the 'Getting Started' too).
