Hello everyone,<br><br>Here is some information about Hadoop and HBase I thought would make a good follow up to my talk:<br><br><ul><li>The <a href="http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html">BigTable paper from Google</a> I mentioned</li>
<li>An answer to Scott's question about <a href="http://blog.rapleaf.com/dev/2008/03/11/matching-impedance-when-to-use-hbase/">when RDBMS is more appropriate</a><br></li></ul>The only thing I'd add to that second article (which is 2.5 years old) is that large binary data is handled very well by cloud solutions; you just don't put it in your BigTable/HBase. Instead, with Hadoop, you'd put it on HDFS or with Amazon, your S3. If you need to associate it with a row in HBase, just store a link.<br>
