HBase is one of the new NoSQL data stores that have come up in the recent years and has been gaining popularity at a fast pace. It is a true open source implementation of the Google Bigtable, and is a part of the Hadoop ecosystem. HBase is known to scale to 100s of nodes easily, providing fast random access to terabytes and petabytes of data. This tutorial is to get you started in the world of HBase so you can build a scalable application of your own.
We’ll accomplish this by covering the following aspects:
We’ll also touch upon the following topics:
At the end of the tutorial, you’ll have a good understanding of how to effectively use HBase as the backend store for your application.

Mina,
Looks like the slides are up now!
Enjoy! Jon
Mina,
I’ve sent the slides to the organizers today, so hopefully they will show up in the next day or so.
Jon.
Hi Jon,
I attended the session today. Are you going to post the slides? Mina
Jean-Marc,
I believe the session will be recorded. However, it may only be available for folks who have paid for a recent strata conference, or who have paid for the session. I’ll be posting a copy of the slides publicly after the talk is done.
Jon.
Hi Jonathan,
Do you know if this session will be recorded and avaible somewhere?
Thanks,
JM
Hi John,
Though not required, you can download hbase using these commands:
Download and untar wget http://apache.osuosl.org/hbase/hbase-0.94.5/hbase-0.94.5.tar.gz tar xvfz hbase-0.94.5.tar.gz cd hbase-0.94.5 bin/start-hbase.sh Verify: bin/hbase shell Browse http://localhost:60010
Alternately, you can use a virtual machine image that can be downloaded from here:
https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/SUPPORT/Cloudera%27s+Hadoop+Demo+VM+for+CDH4
Hope it helps! Jon.
Are the required downloads available ahead of time for the “Using HBase Effectively” tutorial?
