hbase

hbase is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace. It costs 17 tokens per session (498 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to Apache HBase, a distributed database for storing and reading very large amounts of data across Hadoop clusters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating and querying HBase tables, designing row keys and column families, managing regions, and working with HDFS, Hive, and Spark.
Why use it?
It helps developers design tables and storage layouts that avoid slow access and uneven load when handling billions of rows.

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.

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.

Changes

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 Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace (175 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 498 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
