How can the efficiency of data retrieval be improved in HBase?

There are several ways to improve the efficiency of data reading in HBase.

1. Optimizing column family design: by structuring columns in a table effectively, placing frequently accessed columns within the same column family can reduce the number of disk reads for data.
2. Pre-partitioned table: Pre-partitioning can be done when creating a table to avoid writing data to a single region, thus improving the efficiency of parallel reads.
3. Data caching: Utilizing HBase’s Block Cache and MemStore caching mechanisms allows for hot data to be stored in memory, enhancing the speed of data retrieval.
4. Compress data: Use the compression algorithm provided by HBase to compress stored data, reducing the storage space on disk and improving read speeds.
5. Batch reading: Using the batch reading interface to retrieve multiple lines of data at once, reducing network communication overhead and improving reading efficiency.
6. Create a secondary index on columns where quick data retrieval is needed to speed up data reading.
