@teganburns https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Always there to help the lost ones ;)

Ooh modeled after Bigtable, nice.

Written in *Java*, it ain't my type.

Knowing what it means to set up a hbase cluster, highest of fives !

@flag0 the hbase shell is a ruby shell if it please you more :p anyway, you generally don't use HBase because you want to but because you need to (LinkedIn, Facebook and Netflix use it iirc)
