The primary motive for writing this was the fact that Hbase gives a fairly cheap(hdfs) backend storage and near linear scalability. Also most of the schema is encoded in row keys in such a way that hbase prefix scans can be leveraged to serve traversals across billions of nodes/edges.
- techspert 12y agoCheap in only the most puerile sense - the complexity and availability foists a particular cost on HBase that is just too high for most people.
- gamapuna 12y agoMaybe you are correct, Hbase is not easy to configure for sure but in terms of scalability (sheer number of row keys you can dump) there are not a lot of other components which can compete. Although theoretically this abstraction can live on top of any backend which has facilities for fast prefix scans.
