Apache HBase is an open-source non-relational distributed database modeled after Google’s Bigtable and written in Java. It’s useful for random, real-time read/write access to Big Data. The project’s goal is the hosting of very large tables – billions of rows X millions of columns – atop clusters of commodity hardware.
