HBase supports operations on the following data models:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Column family data model: HBase organizes data using column families, each of which contains multiple column qualifiers. Data from different column families can be stored in different rows of the table.<\/li>\n
  2. Row key data model: HBase uses a row key to uniquely identify each row of data in a table, allowing for quick read and write operations based on the row key.<\/li>\n
  3. Cell data model: Data in HBase is stored in the form of cells, with each cell containing a data value, timestamp, and metadata such as column family and column qualifier.<\/li>\n
  4. Column index data model: HBase can efficiently retrieve data by quickly searching through column families, column qualifiers, and other metadata information to achieve efficient data reading.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In conclusion, HBase supports flexible operations on data models, meeting the storage and query needs of different types of data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
