HBase Next & The Cloud-Native Future: A Strategy Session

HBase Meetup 2026: Innovations in Scalability, Caching, and Cloud Recovery
Join engineers from Cloudera, HubSpot, and Salesforce as they dive into the latest architectural advancements for Apache HBase. This session covers critical updates designed to improve performance, reduce costs, and enhance data resilience in modern cloud environments.

Highlights

  • Shared Storage Read Replicas: Scale reads without the cost of data duplication.
  • Massive GC Reduction: HubSpot slashed allocation stalls by hundreds of percent via "fast path" decompression.
  • Continuous Backup: Real-time WAL streaming to enable Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR).
  • DynamoDB on Phoenix: Use the AWS SDK to talk to HBase with new BSON/document support.
  • Carrot Cache: A new pluggable engine reducing metadata memory overhead by over 90%.
  • HBase 3.0 Roadmap: Updates on Beta 2, Kubernetes networking, and Zookeeper reduction.
