HBase Applications and their deployments
Hi,
Just trying to get a feel for what HBase apps look like. I assume that the Java client API dominates? What other APIs are popular?
Are the apps mostly deployed on the same cluster as HBase or external?
What other things make HBase apps "special", if any?
Thanks,
Gunnar

We use the Java API because it is the only one that gives us performance and control we need.
Our QA team uses REST for some functional testing as it is easier to script for their tools.

Hi Ted,
Yes, I know that you *can* (and Avro etc.) but I'm wondering what by *do* use. :)
Obviously, I am not an app developer either spending my time further down the stack.
Thank you,
Gunnar

bq. What other APIs are popular
You can also utilize REST: http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#rest
or Thrift: http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#thrift

HBase apps can run on the same cluster, e.g. MapReduce based apps or
externally as Ted mentioned using REST or Thrift. Some others have
developed more "user" friendly interfaces like Apache Phoenix which allow
developers use SQL to interact with HBase.
Also, I don't think there is something that makes applications that use
HBase "special" except the possibility to scale :)
Have you seen http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/PoweredBy or the
presentations from HBaseCon? http://hbasecon.com/archive.html Lars George
and Jon Hsieh's archetypes presentation from HBaseCon 2014 has synthesized
most of the common use cases and its very helpful if you are looking into
how people uses HBase:

Cheers,
Esteban.
