HBase Roadmap
Deveraj Das’s post on Hortonworks blog details the current and future work on HBase:
- Reliability and High Availability (all data always available, and recovery from failures is quick)
- Autonomous operation (minimum operator intervention)
- Wire compatibility (to support rolling upgrades across a couple of versions at least)
- Cross data-center replication (for disaster recovery)
- Snapshots and backups (be able to take periodic snapshots of certain/all tables and be able to restore them at a later point if required)
- Monitoring and Diagnostics (which regionserver is hot or what caused an outage)
Future:
- Better and improved clients (asynchronous clients, and, in multiple languages)
- Cell-level security (access control for every cell in a table)
- Multi-tenancy (HBase becomes a viable shared platform for multiple applications using it)
- Secondary indexing functionality
Current work=reliability. Future work=usability.
