I'm trying to fully understand all the possibilities of what HBase has
to offer but I can determine a valid use case for multiple versions. Can
someone please explain some real life use cases for this?
Also, at what point is there "too many versions". For example to store
all the queries a user has performed couldn't we create a column family
and have max versions set to something really high (1M). Using this
method we could then ask for the last X amount of queries by setting the
max versions to X. It seems like this can also be accomplished by
creating a separate row for each query but I'm not sure why one strategy
would be better than the other.
Please help me understand. Thanks!
