HBase Training

About HBase Course Training

What is this course about?

This course explains and provides experience in using Apache HBase, the open-source, non-relational (NoSQL) database that runs on top of Hadoop. HBase is distributed, scalable, and well suited for sparse data sets. It stores data in columns of key/value pairs and provides real-time read/write access to it. It allows fast lookups of larger tables and flashback queries of particular points in time. This is in contrast to Hadoop, which is capable of batch processing only and allows sequential access to data. With HBase, the user is afforded low-latency access to single rows of data within petabytes. HBase is fault-tolerant, with automatic failure support and consistent reads and writes. MapReduce jobs can use HBase tables for input and output and may be accessed through Java as well as REST, Avro, or Thrift gateway APIs.

What are the course objectives?

HBase online training program starts with instructions on installing and configuring HBase. It discusses the architecture of HBase and data flow in some detail pointing out which big data scenarios it is most useful for. The training then moves on to Shell and runs through the basic commands and language used for defining and manipulating data. It unpacks the heart of HBase with detailed instructions about how to create, read, enable, and disable tables. It also explains how to work with data – create, read, update, and delete data in Shell and in Java API. The training also covers many other useful commands along the way, such as describe, alter, exists, count, truncate, and so on. It wraps things up with a discussion of best practices that developers can follow to work as quickly, easily, and efficiently as possible.

Who is eligible for the course?

HBase is written mainly in Java and it is recommended that participants have some proficiency in the language. Experience with databases and a working knowledge of HDSF architecture and APIs are also recommended. There are no formal prerequisites for HBase online training and anyone may register.

Job Opportunities in HBase?

Among the many companies that have adopted HBase, some of the high-profile ones such as Adobe, Yahoo, and Twitter, all of which use HBase internally. HBase is also behind Facebook’s messaging platform. Whenever and wherever heavy applications need to be written or big data needs to be accessed randomly and instantaneously, HBase is the solution. The banking and telecom sectors, in particular, are suited to the strengths of HBase and are in need of professionals to help them make what is often a complicated transition from outmoded technologies.
