HBase meetup @ WANdisco in San Ramon

Come to the next HBase user group meetup, hosted at WANdisco in San Ramon - starting at 6:30pm on Thursday November the 20th

Talks include an introduction to Giraffa:

Giraffa is a distributed, highly scalable file system, which is aimed to be able to:

• Support millions of concurrent clients

• Store hundreds of billions of objects

• Maintain Exabyte total storage capacity

Giraffa is utilizing features of HDFS and HBase in order to scale both the data storage and its metadata. Giraffa keeps directories, files, and blocks in a single HBase table distributed across Region Servers, while file data are stored in blocks on HDFS DataNodes.

Brightroll will be talking about their use of HBase in building a leading video ad serving platform..
