Starting Out with HBase
We have already explained the advantages of
HBase
in the preface of this topic,
where we also dealt with the history and motivation behind HBase. In this chapter,
we will make you comfortable with HBase installation. We will teach you how to
do the following:
• Create the simplest possible, but functional, HBase environment in a minute
• Build a more realistic one-machine cluster
• Be in full control with clusters of any size
Now it is time for our first cartoon; we will have one for every chapter. This is you,
the reader, eager to know the secrets of HBase. With this picture, we understand
that learning is a never-ending process.
