- 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>
