Hello All, I am very new to Hbase world and had the following questions in mind. Could anyone take some time to answer them when one has some free time?
1) Is HBase meant for real time access through website (At least just for reads)? Can real time performance be achieved (when compared to MySQL cluster) with reasonable clustor configuration and for 100M to 200M records?. This may be unfair comparison as its BigTable vs Relational, but just want to get the opinion. 2) Is HBQL better way to start using in DAO layer or HBASE APIs?. HBQL is in alpha. Is anybody using in prod? 3) Is there Connection pooling mechanism with Hbase? I see HBQL has has some JDBC and Connection pool support. When we say connection pool, is it at the Table level? or Client JVM level or For the whole HBase cluster? - Ravi
