HBase as web app backend
- by NathanD
Can anyone advise if it is a good idea to have HBase as primary data source for web-based application? My primary concern is HBase's response time to queries. Is it possible to have sub-second response?
edit: more details about the app itself.
Amount of data: ~500GB of text data, expect to reach 1TB soon
Number of concurrent users using the app: up to 50
The app will be used to present reports about data stored in HBase, like how many times keyword "X" occured in last 24h. For ~80% of requests from that app I will know the exact key, 20% will be scans (I'm looking into HBase schema design related topics to make it run fast)
