The pace of innovation in HBase is rapidly increasing together with its popularity. In this talk, we will take a look at all the development that happened last year for a user level overview of all the recently added features, and releases in HBase. We will talk about the upcoming 1.0 release which is expected to arrive at summer 2014.
