S3 stands for simple storage service and it is a one of the file system used by hbase

Region:

 Block Cache – This is the read cache. Most frequently read data is stored in the
read cache and whenever the block cache is full, recently used data is evicted.

 MemStore- This is the write cache and stores new data that is not yet written to
the disk. Every column family in a region has a MemStore.

 Write Ahead Log (WAL) is a file that stores new data that is not persisted to
permanent storage.

 HFile is the actual storage file that stores the rows as sorted key values on a
disk.

 HBase will try to combine HFiles to reduce the maximum number of disk
seeks needed for a read. This process is called compaction.
Minor compaction: combines small Hfiles to bigger Hfiles. Usually with in a
region. Does not remove TTL or deleted. Very frequent.
Major compaction: deletes the TTL and deletes. Across regions, may impact
performance during the operation.

You can configure the following settings in the hbase-site.xml.

Bloom filters are good when data is written in batches. Not effective if multiple
values of a row are changed very frequently.

Parameter Default Description

Set to no to kill bloom filters
io.hfile.bloom.enabled yes server-wide if something goes
wrong
The average false positive rate for
bloom filters. Folding is used to
io.hfile.bloom.error.rate .01 maintain the false positive rate.
Expressed as a decimal
representation of a percentage.
The guaranteed maximum fold
io.hfile.bloom.max.fold 7
rate. Changing this setting should
not be necessary and is not
recommended.
For default (single-block) Bloom
io.storefile.bloom.max.keys 128000000 filters, this specifies the maximum
number of keys.
Master switch to enable Delete
io.storefile.delete.family.bloom.enabled true Family Bloom filters and store
them in the StoreFile.
Target Bloom block size. Bloom
io.storefile.bloom.block.size 65536
filter blocks of approximately this
size are interleaved with data
blocks.
Enables cache-on-write for inline
hfile.block.bloom.cacheonwrite false blocks of a compound Bloom
filter.
Class Description
BinaryComparator A binary comparator which lexicographically compares against the specified
byte array using Bytes.compareTo(byte[], byte[]).

BinaryPrefixCompa A comparator which compares against a specified byte array, but only
rator compares up to the length of this byte array.

BitComparator A bit comparator which performs the specified bitwise operation on each of the
bytes with the specified byte array.

ByteArrayCompara Base class for byte array comparators

ble
ColumnCountGetFil Simple filter that returns first N columns on row only.
ter
ColumnPaginationF A filter, based on the ColumnCountGetFilter, takes two arguments: limit and
ilter offset.

ColumnPrefixFilter This filter is used for selecting only those keys with columns that matches a
particular prefix.

ColumnRangeFilter This filter is used for selecting only those keys with columns that are between
minColumn to maxColumn.

CompareFilter This is a generic filter to be used to filter by comparison.

DependentColumn A filter for adding inter-column timestamp matching Only cells with a
Filter correspondingly timestamped entry in the target column will be retained Not
compatible with Scan.setBatch as operations need full rows for correct filtering

FamilyFilter This filter is used to filter based on the column family.

Filter Interface for row and column filters directly applied within the regionserver.

FilterList Implementation of Filter that represents an ordered List of Filters which will

be evaluated with a specified boolean
operatorFilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ALL (AND)
or FilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ONE (OR).

FirstKeyOnlyFilter A filter that will only return the first KV from each row.

FirstKeyValueMatc Deprecated
hingQualifiersFilter Deprecated in 2.0.

FuzzyRowFilter This is optimized version of a standard FuzzyRowFilter Filters data based on

fuzzy row key.

InclusiveStopFilter A Filter that stops after the given row.

KeyOnlyFilter A filter that will only return the key component of each KV (the value will be
rewritten as empty).

LongComparator A long comparator which numerical compares against the specified byte array

MultipleColumnPref This filter is used for selecting only those keys with columns that matches a
ixFilter particular prefix.

MultiRowRangeFilt Filter to support scan multiple row key ranges.

er
MultiRowRangeFilt  
er.RowRange
NullComparator A binary comparator which lexicographically compares against the specified
byte array using Bytes.compareTo(byte[], byte[]).

PageFilter Implementation of Filter interface that limits results to a specific page size.

ParseConstants ParseConstants holds a bunch of constants related to parsing Filter Strings

Used by ParseFilter

ParseFilter This class allows a user to specify a filter via a string The string is parsed using
the methods of this class and a filter object is constructed.

PrefixFilter Pass results that have same row prefix.

QualifierFilter This filter is used to filter based on the column qualifier.

RandomRowFilter A filter that includes rows based on a chance.

RegexStringCompa This comparator is for use with CompareFilter implementations, such

rator as RowFilter, QualifierFilter, and ValueFilter, for filtering based on
the value of a given column.

RowFilter This filter is used to filter based on the key.

SingleColumnValue A Filter that checks a single column value, but does not emit the tested
ExcludeFilter column.

SingleColumnValue This filter is used to filter cells based on value.

Filter
SkipFilter A wrapper filter that filters an entire row if any of the Cell checks do not pass.

SubstringComparat This comparator is for use with SingleColumnValueFilter, for filtering based on
or the value of a given column.

TimestampsFilter Filter that returns only cells whose timestamp (version) is in the specified list
of timestamps (versions).

ValueFilter This filter is used to filter based on column value.

WhileMatchFilter A wrapper filter that returns true

from WhileMatchFilter.filterAllRemaining() as soon as the
wrapped filters Filter.filterRowKey(byte[], int,
int), Filter.filterKeyValue(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell), F
ilter.filterRow() or Filter.filterAllRemaining() methods
returns tru

The key components of Hbase are Zookeeper, RegionServer, Region, Catalog Tables and Hbase Master.

Truncate : It is used to disable, recreate and drop the specified tables.

Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO) - data compression algorithm focused on decompression speed

zookeeper used to maintain the configuration information and communication between region servers and
clients. It also provides distributed synchronization.

Catalog tables are used to maintain the metadata information. hbase:meta

HMaster - MasterServer which is responsible for monitoring all region servers

An HBase Bloom Filter is an efficient mechanism to test whether a StoreFile

contains a specific row or row-col cell. Without Bloom Filter, the only way to
decide if a row key is contained in a StoreFile is to check the StoreFile's
block index, which stores the start row key of each block in the StoreFile.
BloomFilters provide an in-memory structure to reduce disk reads
to only the files likely to contain that Row. In short it can be considered as an
in-memory index to determine probability of finding a row in a
particular StoreFile.
