HBase: Bigtable-like structured storage for Hadoop HDFS

http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase

Just as Google's [WWW] Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the [WWW] Google File System, HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Hadoop Core.

Any particular column may have multiple versions for the same row key.
