HBase

HBase is a column-oriented distributed cloud storage system that features enhanced reliability, excellent performance, and elastic scalability. It applies to the storage of massive amounts of data and distributed computing. You can use HBase to build a storage system capable of storing TB- or even PB-level data. With HBase, you can filter and analyze data with ease and get responses in milliseconds, rapidly mining data value.

HBase applies to the following scenarios:

  • Storage of massive amounts of data

    HBase applies to TB- or even PB-level data storage and provides dynamic scaling capabilities so that you can adjust cluster resources to meet specific performance or capacity requirements.

  • Real-time query

    The columnar and key-value storage models apply to the ad-hoc query of enterprise user details. The primary key–based low-latency point query reduces the response latency to seconds or even milliseconds, facilitating real-time data analysis.
