HBase only provides CRUD operations by means of Put/Get/Delete API and
there is no built in SQL interface.

its taking very long

Hi there, if there are common questions I'd suggest creating summary
tables of the pre-aggregated results.

Hi,
In our internal testing using server-side coprocessors for aggregation, we've
found HBase can process these types of queries very quickly: ~10-12 seconds
using a four node cluster. You need to chunk up and parallelize the work on the
client side to get this kind of performance, though.

That's when you aggregate along a sorted dimension (prefix of the key), though. Right?
Not sure how smart Hive is here, but if it needs to sort the data it will probably be slower than SQL Server for such a small data set.

Hi Prabhjot:

Can you implement this using a counter?
That is whenever you insert a row with the month(eventdate) and scene
combination, increment the associated counter by one. Note that if you have
a batch insert of N, you can increment the counter by N.

Then you can simply query the counter whenever you want the aggregated
result.

HTH,

Jerry

No, there's no sorted dimension. This would be a full table scan over
40M rows. This assumes the following:
1) your regions are evenly distributed across a four node cluster
2) unique combinations of month * scene are small enough to fit into memory
3) you chunk it up on the client side and run the chunks in parallel
(and have a final merge phase on the client)
