A
TRUE
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -HBase is a column-oriented non-relational database management system that runs on top of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). HBase provides a fault-tolerant way of storing sparse data sets, which are common in many big data use cases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, Hbase is known to be a column oriented database (where the column data stay together), the data in HBase for a particular row stay together and the column data is spread and not together.

Detailed explanation-3: -Apache HBase is an open-source, column-oriented, distributed NoSQL database. HBase runs on the Apache Hadoop framework. HBase provides you a fault-tolerant, efficient way of storing large quantities of sparse data using column-based compression and storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: HBase is a data model that is similar to Google’s big table designed to provide quick random access to huge amounts of structured data. 2. Point out the correct statement. Explanation: One can store the data in HDFS either directly or through HBase.

Detailed explanation-5: -HBase is a database built on top of the HDFS. Explanation: All the options are correct.
