In this chapter, we dived deep into HBase, one of the most widely deployed NoSQL databases. We looked at the system architecture and design motivations of HBase in great detail. We then reviewed the logical and physical data model within HBase. We looked at how to interact with the database and execute common operations. We looked at interactions via the HBase shell as well as the programmatic Java API. We finished the chapter by looking at advanced topics, such as high availability, coprocessors, and SQL interfaces to HBase.
