Using HBase for analytics

hadoop analytics hbase

Lars George's "HBASE: the definitive guide" explains a design very similar to what you want to achieve in the introduction chapter

hadoop analytics hbase

This can be done as follows,

Have the unique row id in Hbase as follows,

rowid = date + country + product ---> append these into a single entity and have it as key.

Then have the counters as columns. So when you get an event like,

if(event == liked){increment the liked column of the hbase by 1 for the corresponding key combination.}

and so on for other cases.

Hope this helps!!
