Many are aware of Facebook’s Cassandra system, but now they’ve built something new called hBase (working alongside the open source community again)
Someone knows what this means?
Did they switch to hbase the _existing for many years_ database solution, or did they build something else on top of it (is there a trace of this in the hbase community?) or did they build something else from scratch and incredibly hit on the same name?
yup I know what hbase is, we used it at my previous job (but I recall stuff like "reimplementation of hbase in bash"[1] being insightful, it was not a great experience though I'm sure it matured a lot by now)
Thanks a lot for the conference video, but even this mostly describes their "well known" scribe/log analysis infrastructure, and does not get into how the new stuff gets integrated with hbase.
