Primer

• NoSQL 的 A (ACID), B (BASE), C (CAP Theorem)
  • ​ACID
  • ​BASE: An Acid Alternative
  • ​CAP Theorem - ​Errors in Database Systems, Eventual Consistency, and the CAP Theorem
    • ​CAP theorem - Consistency (一致性), Availibility (可用性), Partition Tolerance (容錯性)三個勢必要犧牲其中一個！！

• ​Is NoSQL only for BigData? (2010-11-01) - 這篇文章提到 NoSQL 使用的三個適當時機，至少要滿足其中兩個。

      * Velocity - The data needs to be processed in a timely manner
      * Volume - The amount of data is large (this fits the traditional Big Data use case)
      * Variety - The data varies and is not a good fit for a fixed schema

• 當然縱使 MongoDB 與 CouchDB 已經有很高的排行榜，跟 SQLite 比起來，還是差很多。 從 ​Google Trends 的搜尋趨勢可以看到 SQLite > Google Gears > CouchDB 的趨勢，象徵著 distributed database 的影響力尚未普及。 (2009-09-23)

  • Big Data -> Medium Data 都需要
  • Cloud Computing - Scale Free
  • Disk Seek time remains nearly constant -> Index(B-Tree), Seek (RMDB) 慢！！
  • No distributed transactions, no complex locking, no waits or deadlocks
  • 不要用 Spreadsheet 的想法看待 HBase, 或許可以用 Tag 的想法去看待它。
  • HBase 跟 BigTable 都是 CP 架構(注重 Consistancy 與 Partition Tolerance，根據 CAP Theorem 因此無法確保 Avaibility，寧可服務中斷也要資料正確！！)
  • HDFS-200 (working append) 將在 HBase 0.20.5 加入支援資料持續遞增的功能。
  • ACID ? - ​atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability
  • 新功能：
    • 跨資料中心備份 - 透過 Log Ship ​HBASE-1295 : Multi data center replication
    • 安全性強化 - 支援 authentication, authorization，Yahoo! 寫了很多新的安全性支援，包括 Kerberos 認證、Data isolation at the HDFS layer、Secure RPC。因此必須新增角色來作存取控管(Access Control Role)
    • Coprocessor - 靈感來自於 BigTable 的新功能 Coprocessor，加入 RegionObservor (需要再花點時間看清楚用途！！)
