@newUser:

HBase can handle that kind of volume pretty easily. You need to estimate your size/volume of the data and size the cluster accordingly. It seems like write heavy than reading. Primary usecase is storage and further analysis at some point of time? There are several handles/knobs to get the level where you want to be. I hate to call/mention HBase as a Database rather it is a data store.

Good day to you
Interesting read indeed
I’m currently pursuing my Masters; and I was thinking of HBASE; What do you think if this topic was researched? do you advise me searching into it?

your opinion is highly appreciated
Thank you ;

Thank you for your reply. But as the information of the servers are getting stored on every 5 minutes. so, every 5 minutes around four thousand data will be inserted in the RDBMS table. That itself is difficult to finish within next 5 minutes of time because within next 5 minutes again the same scheduler will be running to collect information of the servers. i need to maintain around 4-6 months data in the database. This is the primary requirement of our project and if it works good then this could be used vastly. Basically I like to know if at all the Hbase could enhance the writing and reading time of the database and could be used to scale the database in great respect.

My gut tells me that you won’t find enough data in that application to justify HBase.

Currently I am using RDBMS in my project. My project basically monitor servers. It has to collect the information from all the servers ( no. of servers could be very huge) after every 5 minutes and store it in the database. So,that’s why the data amount becomes very huge. Is the read and write operation to the Hbase faster than RDBMS? Please suggest me what type of database will be best suit in this situation.

Thanks for the reply. Actually consider one simple usecase. suppose i have two relationship tables employee and dept in RDBMS. In RDBMS, I can retrieve data by joining these tables using sql query as they have primary- foreign key relation. But how can i design the same tables in hbase? or how can i keep the same relation using hbase? i need data from both these tables ( after joining) .. how can I possible it in Hbase?

If you rely on stored procedures, HBase is probably not the tool for you.
