C. HBase Column Family Organization
Unlike Cassandra and MySQL, HBase doesn’t have a concept of a keyspace or a database. It rather stores data in column families and adds a column family to the tables as and when required. For our application we create two column families, namely, columnFamily_1 and columnFamily_2. columnFamily_1 in HBase would store the exact data that is stored in Table_1 in Cassandra and MySQL. Likewise, columnFamily_2 would store the exact data that is stored in Table_2. We do not initialize the columns within the column families as they can be propagated without being pre-announced. Subsequently, we add the column families in a table and call it HBase_Table
