| <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="http://hbasecon.com/"><span style="background-color: transparent; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">HBaseCon 2014</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> (May 5, 2014 in San Francisco) is coming up fast. It is shaping up to be another grand day out for the HBase community with a dense agenda spread over four tracks of case studies, dev, ops, and ecosystem. Check out our posted </span><a href="http://hbasecon.com/agenda/"><span style="background-color: transparent; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">agenda grid</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">As in previous years, the program committee favored presentations on open source, shipping technologies and descriptions of in-production systems. The schedule is chock-a-block with a wide diversity of deploy types (industries, applications, scALE!) and interesting dev and operations stories. </span><a href="https://hbasecon2014.secure.mfactormeetings.com/registration/" style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Come to the conference</a><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and learn from your peer HBase users, operators and developers.</span></p> |

| <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4235000000000002; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The general session will lead off with a welcome by Mike Olson of Cloudera (Cloudera is the host for this HBase community conference).</span></p> |
| <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4235000000000002; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.4235000000000002;">Next up will be a talk by the leads of the BigTable team at Google, Avtandil Garakanidze and Carter Page. They will present on BigTable, the technology that HBase is based on. Bigtable is “...the world’s largest multi-purpose database, supporting 90 percent of Google’s applications around the world.” They will give a brief overview of “...Bigtable evolution since it was originally described in an OSDI ’06 paper, its current use cases at Google, and future directions.”</span></p> |

Liyin will speak on, </span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“HydraBase: Facebook’s Highly Available and Strongly Consistent Storage Service Based on Replicated HBase Instances”. </span><span style="font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">HBase powers multiple mission-critical online applications at Facebook. This talk will cover the design of HydraBase (including the replication protocol), an analysis of a failure scenario, and a plan for contributions to the HBase trunk.” Lars will explain how Salesforce.com’s scalability requirements led it to HBase and the multiple use cases for HBase there today. You’ll also learn how Salesforce.com works with the HBase community, and get a detailed look into its operational environment.</span></p> |

You can also hear how Pinterest builds large scale HBase apps up in AWS, HBase at Bloomberg, OPower, RocketFuel, Xiaomi, Yahoo! and others, as well as a nice little vignette on how HBase is an enabling technology at OCLC replacing all instances of Oracle powering critical services for the libraries of the world.</span></p> |
| <p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.425; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There will be an optional pre-conference prep for attendees who are new to HBase by Jesse Anderson (Cloudera University). Jesse’s talk will offer a brief Cliff’s Notes-level HBase overview before the General Session that covers architecture, API, and schema design. </span></p> |
