From fa41c5db88fe18f90bd88102d5087e74cf7c810c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Sivachenko Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 20:40:49 +0000 Subject: New port: apache hbase: Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database modeled after Google's Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the Google File System, Apache HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Hadoop and HDFS. --- databases/hbase/pkg-descr | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+) create mode 100644 databases/hbase/pkg-descr (limited to 'databases/hbase/pkg-descr') diff --git a/databases/hbase/pkg-descr b/databases/hbase/pkg-descr new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..51a74169b216 --- /dev/null +++ b/databases/hbase/pkg-descr @@ -0,0 +1,23 @@ +Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database +modeled after Google's Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured +Data by Chang et al.
