  Description     : random, realtime read/write access to big data using hadoop

HBase is the Hadoop database. It hosts very large tables (think
petabytes) -- billions of rows X millions of columns -- atop clusters of
commodity hardware. It's modeled after Google's Bigtable.

    * Convenient base classes for backing Hadoop MapReduce jobs with HBase tables
    * Query predicate push down via server side scan and get filters
    * Optimizations for real time queries
    * A high performance Thrift gateway
    * A REST-ful Web service gateway that supports XML, Protobuf, and binary data encoding options
    * Cascading source and sink modules
    * Extensible jruby-based (JIRB) shell
    * Support for exporting metrics via the Hadoop metrics subsystem to files or Ganglia; or via JMX
    * No HBase single point of failure
    * Rolling restart for configuration changes and minor upgrades
    * Random access performance on par with open source relational databases such as MySQL
