Hi all, So this question might be stupid, retarded even, but it has been bugging me for a while and I cannot think of a better place to ask this. I am really impressed with the way HBase works (as a key-value store). Since it stores everything as a byte array, I find it really convenient to store serialized objects. Also, I understand that HBase is supposed to be used when you have too much data to be handled by a single machine, so we can scale our application by running it in distributed mode.
But what if I want to use it because its HashMap kind of capabilities with an added feature to track versions. Is it recommended that I use it for a small application (in standalone mode) with maybe 100K users and storage needs which probably won't exceed 100G. I know it is never recommended to be used as a transactional database (I have read that in a million places) but I would like to know more about it. Thanks, Arun
