6.HBaseInAction第一章-HBase简介（1.2HBase的使用场景和成功案例）

Sometimes the best way to understand a software product is to look at how it’s used. The kinds of problems it solves and how those solutions fit into a larger application architecture can tell you a lot about a product. Because HBase has seen a number of publicized production deployments, we can do just that. This section elaborates on some of the more common use cases that people have successfully used HBase to solve.

很多时候了解一个软件产品的最好方式是看人们如何使用它。它能解决哪些问题以及它的解决方案如何融入大型应用程序架构中，可以告诉我们很多有关产品的信息。HBase的已经部署在一些公开的生产系统中，所以我们完全可以可以按着这思路来了解它。本节阐述了一些人们成功应用HBase的应用案例。

NOTE Don’t limit yourself to thinking that HBase can solve only these kinds of use cases. It’s a nascent technology, and innovation in terms of use cases is what drives the development of the system. If you have a new idea that you think can benefit from the features HBase offers, try it. The community would love to help you during the process and also learn from your experiences. That’s the spirit of open source software.

注意，不要让自己以为HBase只能解决这些类型的应用案例。它是一项新兴的技术，创新的应用案例正是这系统发展的驱动力。如果你有新的思路，这思路认为可以从HBase的功能特性中获益，那么你就试试吧。社区会愿意帮助你推进这个过程的，同时社区也会从你的经验中学习提升。这就是开源软件的精神。

HBase is modeled after Google’s Bigtable, so we’ll start our exploration with the canonical Bigtable problem: storing the internet.

HBase是以谷歌的Bigtable为蓝本而构建的，所以接下来我们将开始探索Bigtable想解决的典型问题：存储整个互联网。
