The biggest ever HBase User Group went off this past Friday, August 7 at StumbleUpon HQ in San Francisco.  We had over 30 attendees, ranging from new users to committers, and four presentations. Big thanks to everyone for coming out, and especially to StumbleUpon for hosting us.

Jonathan Gray (me) covered the new features, architecture, and API of the latest HBase 0.20 release, Michael Stack introduced the proposed features for 0.21, Ryan Rawson led a great practical discussion from his experiences using HBase at StumbleUpon, and finally Bradford Stephens gave an interesting talk on building an analytics framework atop Hadoop and HBase.

To read about what’s planned for the next release of HBase, 0.21, check out the HBase 0.21 Roadmap, notes from the HBase Hackathon Day One Wrap-Up, or issues in JIRA.
