Top Rated Hbase Alternatives
With HBase, you get what you asked for. HBase is great because it's an open-source, well-known Apache project. As a result, the community and documentation are well-developed -- most likely, any issue you run into will be on StackOverflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unless you're buying into a fully-managed, bare-metal Hadoop environment, I'd say you should first look into what cloud-providers offer in terms of HBase-like, columnar databases. Check out Google Cloud Platform or Amazon Web Services before ever installing HBase from Apache, Cloudera, HortonWorks, etc., and even then, know that cloud instances are expensive. In addition, I'd make sure that a columnar database is even what you need. In most cases, a traditional relational database is probably just fine for your use case, as you'll later find exporting data from HBase or using HBase for a variety of queries is a lot of work.

Faster lookup of records using the row keys. It helped to fetch thousands of documents in a much faster way using the row keys
As it is a columnar data store, it helped us to improve the query performance and aggregations
Sharding helps us to optimise data storage and retrieval. HBase provides automatic or manual sharding of tables.
The dynamic addition of columns and column families helped us efficiently modify the schema. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It cannot have multiple indexes as the row key is the only column which could be indexed.
HBase does not support partial row keys, which limits its query performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about Apache Hbase is it is capable to process billion of records available in hbase tables and provides fast processing of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing which I don't like in apache Hbase is it doesn't support joins of tables like other rdbms databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy for setting up and starting to experiment. That's the best part Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Commands are bit tricky as we need to use suitable java classes for applying operations like filtering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most helpful thing is that it eases out the work you do. The upsides of using hbase is the user friendliness that it provides. This technology is gaining a lot of importance these days.
Other helpful features are a variety of commands that it provides. Apart from that you would explore a lot of upsides when you actually start working on this great and helpful technology.Since hbase is a no sql database so the users dealing with massive data or big data will find it really helpful to work with hbase. This technology is a great upside in this field and certainly gonna be a leader on upcoming days. When you are dealing with a huge velocity and volume of data this technology comes out to be a saviour. I highly recommend use of hbase instead of conventional technologies.

The least helpful about hbase I think is the lack of some common features that are available with similar technologies available in the market. The downsides of hbase hence could be improved. For a technology to become popular the least helpful needs to be ommited out and the downsides could be removed. Technologically I found out that when only one Hmaster is used, there could be a possibility of failure. Since joins are handled in MapR layer. Since a traditional RDBMS is index on multiple columns Hbase is only index on a key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
