Review Summary

Generated using AI from real user reviews
Users consistently praise HBase for its scalability and fast data retrieval, making it a strong choice for handling large datasets in a Hadoop environment. The integration with Hadoop and the ability to manage unstructured data are also frequently highlighted as key benefits. However, many users note that the lack of a user-friendly query language and the complexity of setup can be challenging.

"Good Non-relational Distributed Database for bigdata"
What do you like best about Hbase?

Fetching of data from tables in different region servers is pretty fast. Designing the key which would act as an index for fetching data is a bit complicated but helps in speedy data retrieval. The java api to fetch data from HBase is pretty straightforward and makes it easy in integrating with RESTful web services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hbase?

There is no offset based pagination so if the tables are designed in a tall narrow format, it is impossible to use a combination of offset & limit to query the database for results. Have to use Apache Solr or Apache Pheonix for implementing the indexing functionality which adds to overhead costs and introduces one more dependency in the stack.

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??
