"Experience with HBase"
What do you like best about Hbase?

I really love block cache support and bloom filters for real-time query processing. I do love HBase's failover support and load-sharing feature. Additionally, as compared with traditional databases, data reading and processing requires a small period of time. There is no specification for a fixed column scheme in HBase since it is schema-free. Consequently, it describes only families with columns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hbase?

It results in unpredictable latencies when we try integrating HBase with Map-reduce jobs. There is a probability of failure at a time when only one HMaster is used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In HBase, we cannot implement any cross data operations and joining operations, of course, we can implement the joining operations using MapReduce, which would take a lot of time to designing and development. How we can improve this??
