About

Apache HBase is an open source, non-relational, distributed database project, developed in Java and modeled after Google's BigTable. It is a key component of the Apache Software Foundation's Apache Hadoop project, running on top of HDFS (Hadoop Distributed Filesystem) to provide robust data storage. As a free and open-source solution, it is available on Linux and online platforms, categorized under Database and Developer Tools. While specific company financials, leadership, and employee counts are not applicable as it is a community-driven project, its market position is defined by its role as an alternative to solutions like Apache Cassandra, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud Bigtable, and various other databases. Users can engage with the project via its website hbase.apache.org and social channels like Facebook and Twitter.
