Overview/Description
Apache HBase is a NoSQL column-oriented database that provides big data storage for semi-structured data. It runs on HDFS and ZooKeeper and can be integrated with MapReduce. In a column-oriented database, data in a column is stored together using column families rather than in a row. The physical architecture uses a Master-Slave relationship and distributes the data in a cluster-like format. This course will show how to install HBase and discuss the HBase architecture and data modeling designs.

Target Audience
Administrators and developers who need experience using HBase
