== Table ==

HBase Table is three dimensional sorted map. It maps from Cartesian product of row key, column key and timestamp to cell value:

'''(row:byte[] x column:byte[] x timestamp:Long) -> byte[]'''

All HBase data is stored in cell of tables.

== Row ==

One of HBase Table dimensions. I has Row Key that is arbitrary array of bytes. Table is sorted in lexicographical order by it's Row Key.

== Column ==

One of HBase Table dimensions. A column name has the form "<family>:<label>" where <family> and <label> can be arbitrary byte arrays. A table enforces its set of <family>s (called "column families"). 

== Column Family ==
