hbase

hbase is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 17 tokens per session (425 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of hbase, MIT.

A distributed wide-column database built for very large datasets in the Hadoop ecosystem. It provides low-latency reads and writes across many servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for big-data systems needing large-scale row storage, real-time lookups, and integration with Hadoop, Hive, or Spark.
Why use it?
It handles data volumes and access patterns that are difficult for a traditional single-server database. It also provides random access to data stored in HDFS.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hbase scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to hbase — 7 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Apache HBase

HBase is the Hadoop database. It is a distributed, scalable, big data store. It provides random, real-time read/write access to your Big Data.

When to Use

  • Hadoop Ecosystem: Deep integration with HDFS, Hive, Spark.
  • Petabyte Scale: Serving billions of rows with low latency.
  • Random Access: When you need random R/W on HDFS data (which is usually WORM - Write Once Read Many).

Quick Start

Uses Java API or Shell.

create 'users', 'info', 'data'
put 'users', 'row1', 'info:name', 'Alice'
get 'users', 'row1'

Core Concepts

Column Families

Data is grouped into column families (info:name, info:email). Families are stored physically together.

Region Servers

HBase scales by splitting tables into "Regions" and hosting them on Region Servers.

WAL & MemStore

Writes go to Write-Ahead-Log (Disk) and MemStore (RAM). When MemStore fills, it flushes to HFile (HDFS).

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Design Row Keys carefully: Row keys determine sorting and sharding. "Hotspotting" (sequential keys) is the enemy. Use salt or hashing.
  • Pre-split Regions: Don't start with 1 region. Pre-split based on your known key distribution.
  • Use Phoenix: Apache Phoenix provides a SQL skin over HBase, making it usable like a Relational DB.

Don't:

  • Don't use for small data: The overhead of HDFS/ZimeKeeper/HBase is huge. Only for >TB scale.
  • Don't scan excessively: Full table scans are MapReduce jobs.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hbase is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 425 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to hbase, differing in 7 lines, and is treated as a copy.
