Background Introduction

In the big data ecosystem, HBase is a very important component, mainly used for processing and storing massive amounts of structured and unstructured data. HBase is widely applied in scenarios involving massive data storage and high-concurrency read and write operations, such as personalized recommendation profiling, order storage, vehicle trajectory inquiry, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensor analysis.

EMR (Elastic MapReduce) primarily provides open-source big data service deployment and management functions in a semi-managed form to facilitate flexible configuration and management by users. However, the operational and maintenance costs are relatively high. To simplify these complex operational tasks, Tencent Cloud has launched EMR Serverless HBase to help users focus on business applications without having to worry about complicated service layer tasks such as component parameter tuning, disaster recovery plan formulation, and service issue diagnosis, among other tedious operational issues.

1.Feature Introduction

EMR Serverless HBase provides a fully managed HBase service that is fully compatible with the open-source HBase protocol. Without the need to worry about the operation and maintenance of basic hardware infrastructure, you can quickly build high-throughput, low-latency big data access applications with EMR Serverless HBase, such as massive real-time data query, real-time data computing and processing, and time-series data storage and retrieval.

2.Features and Advantages

Simple and Easy to Use

• Fully compatible with open-source HBase, enabling seamless migration without code modification.
• No need to maintain underlying hardware resources or tune built-in parameters, ready to use out of the box.
• Visual table management for quick data table administration.

Lower Cost

• Fully managed service with low operational and maintenance costs.
• Resources are used on demand, reducing idle capacity costs.
• Supports setting storage EC (Erasure Coding) policies, reducing storage costs by up to 50% compared to traditional 3-replica solutions.

Secure and Reliable

• VPC network isolation and security groups ensure network security and trustworthiness.
• High-availability architecture, multiple storage replicas, and automatic distribution of physical nodes to avoid single points of failure.
• Supports 3AZ (Availability Zone) deployment, with instances capable of availability zone-level disaster recovery.

3.Application Scenarios

Serverless HBase is suitable for data processing scenarios with the following business characteristics:

• Sparse Dynamic Columns: Unstructured data storage such as user profiles and medical records.
• High-Throughput Writing: Time-series data writing and querying scenarios like logs and sensor data.
• Efficient Single-Key Queries: Primary key retrieval needs for orders, trajectories, etc.

4.Quick Experience

You can quickly experience Serverless HBase in just three steps.

1. Create an Instance: Log in to the Tencent Cloud EMR Serverless HBase console, configure the instance specifications as needed, and create an instance.
2. Connect to an Instance: Obtain the instance access method, connect to the Serverless HBase instance according to different scenarios, and then perform data reading and writing.
3. Manage an Instance: View the instance running status and adjust the number of instance nodes and change the storage policy as needed.

5.Summary

Tencent Cloud EMR Serverless HBase has moved from the beta testing phase to official commercial availability. If you wish to use HBase with lower operational and maintenance investment, welcome to log in to the Tencent Cloud console for a quick experience. More features await your discovery.
