Thanks for that one andrew. I think a great story is unifying both analytics and real time on a single platform. This makes dev and ops so much easier. In fact the bigtable paper alludes to this strength. A single data platform for most your needs is powerful.
Of course some super speciality needs might require additional platforms. Eg: MySQL for highly relational data. Memcache for high read data. And so on. But It is important from an architecture pov to keep distinct systems count low. On Mar 9, 2010 4:13 PM, "Andrew Purtell" <apurt...@apache.org> wrote: I came to this discussion late. Ryan and J-D's use case is clearly successful. In addition to what others have said, I think another case where HBase really excels is supporting analytics over Big Data (which I define as on the order of petabyte). Some of the best performance numbers are put up by scanners. There is tight integration with the Hadoop MapReduce framework, not only in terms of API support but also with respect to efficient task distribution over the cluster -- moving computation to data -- and there is a favorable interaction with HDFS's location aware data placement. Moving computation to data like that is one major reason how analytics using the MapReduce paradigm can put conventional RDBMS/data warehouses to shame for substantially less cost. Since 0.20.0, results of analytic computations over the data can be materialized and served out in real time in response to queries. This is a complete solution. - Andy ----- Original Message ---- > From: Ryan Rawson <ryano...@gmail.com> > To: hbase-u...@hadoop.apac... > Sent: Tue, March 9, 2010 3:34:55 PM > Subject: Re: Use cases of HBase > > HBase operates more like a write-thru cache.
