A Step-by-Step Intro to HBase with Ruby
A basic, step-by-step introduction by Olexiy Prokhorenko for setting up HBase and start using it to build a forum-like solution using Ruby. In case you are interesting on how to build a message board system or play with something similar to Stackoverflow in MongoDB, make sure you check the MongoDB usecases.
The post contains details about the available HBase Ruby libraries:
- ☞ hbase-ruby (sishen)
- ☞ hbase-ruby (greglu)
and the documentation that got him started:
- ☞ Hbase/HbaseArchitecture
- ☞ Hbase/DataModel
- ☞ Understanding HBase and BigTable
- ☞ HBase Schema Design Case Studies (embedded at the end of the post)
I’d definitely add to these: HBase vs BigTable Comparison and ☞ HBase Architecture 101 - Storage.
The article contains tons of code snippets and details (nb sometimes a bit too much though) on how to get up and running with HBase and Ruby.
