2. Discussion Progress on HBase 1 Cassandra or HBase 2

3. HBase Sechma Design  HBase reference guide  How to design a good HBase schema. – row key – column family

4. HBase Sechma Design  row key – monotonically increasing keys or timeseries keys may cause a pile-up on a single region. – randomize the input records to not be in sorted order can mitigate the situation. So its best to avoid using a timestamp or a sequence as the row key. – at present, I use the startTime(a timestamp) as the row key, in future I will explore if there has a better replacement.

5. HBase Sechma Design  column famliy: – I was wrong about the schema with two column families. – HBase currently does not do well with anything above two or three column families. – Try to make do with one column family if you can in your schemas. – If you have thousands or even millions column, you can consider have more than one column family. We only have 21 columns, so one is enough and the best choice.

6. HBase Sechma Design  Optimization(minimize row and column sizes) – in HBase, values are always as a cell value that accompanied by its row, column name, and timestamp. So if row and column name is long, it will waste a large size.(see behind) – column family: keep the name as short as possible. – row key length: keep them as short as is reasonable such that they can still be useful for required data access.

7. Sqoop  Have successfully configured the sqoop in my PC. On farm, have a Exception-- ”access denied for user ‘zhang’, but it seems successfully transfer the data.  Command ： – Sqoop import –connect jdbc:

8. Sqoop  sqoop on my PC: – test: 81,280 records, 45.1613s – test: 215,500 records, 73.2617s – test: 1,539,763 records,310s – then:35,427,339 records, 1235060s/about 3.43h – the HBase table size: about 35G, compare mysql table(5G), the size is bigger. So design a good schema is very necessary.

9. Sqoop  sqoop on the farm: – two exceptions: – then found access denied – import: 35,427,339 records,5120s/about 1.39h – hbase-name:’hb_type_job’ – row-key: ’startTime’ – column-family: ’d’  s

11. Cassandra or HBase

12.  review our requirement: – big data: now 5G, increases 1.5 GB per year, not very big. – high scalability: we want the database we choice has a better scalability.(many candidates have the feature. – write/read: we read more than we write.(One of the reasons we choose HBase before)

13. Cassandra or HBase  Written in: Java  Main point: Best of BigTable and Dynamo  Tunable trade-offs for distribution and replication (N, R, W)  Querying by column, range of keys  BigTable-like features: columns, column families  Has secondary indices  Writes are much faster than reads (!)  Map/reduce possible with Apache Hadoop  All nodes are similar, as opposed to Hadoop/Hbase  Gossip protocol, multi data center, no single point of failure

14. Cassandra or HBase  C has only one type of nodes, all nodes are similar. H consists of several different types of nodes (Muster/RegionServer).  H must deployed over the HDFS, compare this C is much more simple  Data consistency of C is tunable(N,W,R).  H better support map/reduce  H provides the developer with row locking facilities whereas Cassandra can not. C just use timestamp.  C has better I/O performance and better scalability but not good at range scan.  CAP:C focus on AC and H focus on CP  H has an SQL compatibility interface(Hive),so H support SQL

15. Cassandra or HBase  The structure of C is simple,deploy and maintenance is simple, compare C(save money, save time),H is much more complex deploy or maintenance.  H maybe more suitable for data warehousing, and large scale data processing and analysis. And C being more suitable for real time transaction processing and the serving of interactive data.

16. Cassandra or HBase  How do I incorporate my logo to a slide that will apply to all the other slides? – bb  Aa – bb  Aa – On

17. Cassandra or HBase  the possibility we start to explore Cassandra – more simple than Hadoop HBase. – written by Java.(same as HBase) – pycassa:It is a python client library for Apache Cassandra.  problem: seem doesn’t have a ready- made tool for transfer the data from mysql to Cassandra.
