NDAs can be a bitch. Overall, I’d say that HBase can be powerful, but at the same time fragile. If you have a customer who has their own dev staff … you need to be really careful. If its drop in and run w no additional development or monkeying with the cluster? Its going to be more stable. Also when you tune the cluster… don’t fine tune it, but leave some headroom… > Thanks, > -Venkat.
