For a proof of concept we'll be working on, we want to bulk-load data into HBase, following a similar approach to the one explained here <http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2013/09/how-to-use-hbase-bulk-loading-and-why/>, but with the difference that for the HFile creation (step 2 in the mentioned article), we want to use Storm instead of MapReduce. That is, we want to bulk load data not sitting in HDFS, but probably in memory.
1. What are your thoughts about this? Is it feasible? 2. What challenges do you foresee? 3. What other approaches would you suggest? Thanks in advance, -Jaime
