-    <para>Apache HBase is Bigtable like data store, built on top of
-    Hadoop is now packaged and available.</para>
+    <para>Apache HBase is used when you need random, realtime
+    read/write access to your Big Data. Apache HBase hosts very
+    large tables -- billions of rows X millions of columns -- atop
+    clusters of commodity hardware. Apache HBase is a distributed,
+    versioned, non-relational database modeled after Google's
+    Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by
+    Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data
+    storage provided by the Google File System, Apache HBase
+    provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Hadoop and
+    HDFS.</para>
