AWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty 2021 – Hands-On - HBase on EMR

The video tutorial explains the use of Hbase as a non-relational database on EMR, highlighting its ability to handle petabyte-scale data across Hadoop clusters. It compares Hbase with DynamoDB, noting that while both are Nosql databases, DynamoDB offers advantages like being fully managed and serverless, with better AWS integration. However, Hbase is preferable for certain use cases, such as handling sparse data and high-frequency counters. The tutorial also discusses AWS's integration of Hbase with EMR and S3, providing flexibility in data storage and backup.
