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.

"Fast Search, Fault tolerant and scalable"
What do you like best about Hbase?

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.

What do you dislike about Hbase?

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.

"Great so far, highly recommended."
What do you like best about Hbase?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hbase?

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.

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??
