HBase, The Only Enterprise NoSQL Choice
Overall Satisfaction with HBase
HBase is being used by multiple organizations and internally it is used company-wide. it solves a large range of problems and provides unique solutions when we need a NoSQL store.
HBase provides the best of breed solutions for any NoSQL storage needs. One of the main important features is it is part of the HDP Hortonworks stack so it is installed by default so there's nothing else to install or configure. It is easy to administer with Ambari and scales to any size I need. It runs on top of HDFS so my data is safe, secure and scalable.
I use it as a store for data that is ingested via various streaming mechanisms including Apache NiFi, Apache Storm, Apache Spark Streaming, Apache Flink and Streaming Analytics Manager. It provides an easy key-value type store with fast scans for data access. I also run Apache Phoenix on top to provide a fast clean SQL interface to all of my data.
