ApsaraDB for HBase is a distributed database that stores data in key-value pairs and wide tables. It allows you to store data sets of all sizes. ApsaraDB for HBase enables quick query response within milliseconds, low costs, and high concurrency. You can scale out capacity to process petabytes (PB) of data and tens of millions of queries per second (QPS). ApsaraDB for HBase supports core services of Alibaba Group, such as Taobao, Alipay, and Cainiao.

Overview

ApsaraDB for HBase is designed to meet the requirements of Internet-based big data scenarios. In most cases, you can use ApsaraDB for HBase to store structured and semi-structured data that is not strongly reliant on transactions. ApsaraDB for HBase is a Not only SQL (NoSQL) service. It also supports Structured Query Language (SQL) and secondary indexes.

Big data

ApsaraDB for HBase allows you to store large amounts of data at low costs, import multiple datasets at a time, and query data in real time. You can synchronize full data or incremental data in an efficient manner. ApsaraDB for HBase can be integrated with big data platforms, such as Spark and MaxCompute. This enables offline analysis of large amounts of data.

ApsaraDB for HBase has the following advantages:
  • Cost-effectiveness: supports high compression ratios, cold and hot data separation, and data storage in hard disk drives (HDDs) and Object Storage Service (OSS).
  • Data transmission: allows you to use Lindorm Tunnel Service (LTS) to synchronize data between ApsaraDB for HBase and third-party systems in a simple and efficient manner.
  • Quick import: allows you to import a large amount of data to ApsaraDB for HBase through BulkLoad. The data transmission is faster than that of the traditional method.
  • High concurrency: provides horizontal scaling to enable tens of millions of QPS.
  • Scalability: uses a decoupled storage and computing architecture. This enables independent auto scaling.

Advertising

ApsaraDB for HBase can be used to store important data such as user profiles, user behaviors, clickstreams, and advertising feeds in the advertising and marketing industry. The elastic and reliable database service allows you to create leading-edge services for real-time bidding and targeted advertising with high concurrency and low response latency.

ApsaraDB for HBase has the following advantages:
  • Low latency: supports quick responses within milliseconds and accelerates concurrent requests from master-replica dual clusters.
  • High concurrency: provides horizontal scaling to enable tens of millions of QPS.
  • Flexibility: supports dynamic columns and the Time to Live (TTL) mechanism. Features or tags can be automatically added to or removed from dynamic columns. Data automatically expires based on the TTL setting.
  • Cost-effectiveness: supports high compression ratios, cold and hot data separation, and data storage in HDDs and OSS.
  • Data transmission: allows you to use LTS to synchronize data between ApsaraDB for HBase and third-party systems in a simple and efficient manner.
  • High availability: enables active-standby or active-active disaster recovery and automatic failover to commit a 99.95% service level agreement (SLA).
