Performing a seamless HBase migration to AWS
HBase provides a Hadoop-based solution for managing large-scale, sparse datasets. This non-relational, distributed database excels at random read/write access to data with high volume and variety, making it a valuable tool for big data applications.
Migrating an on-premises Apache HBase database to AWS allows organizations to leverage the scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of the cloud. AWS provides several options for migrating to HBase, including moving to HBase on Amazon S3 (running on Amazon EMR), or migrating to a fully managed service such as Amazon DynamoDB. This recipe outlines the detailed steps to perform this migration.

- Existing HBase cluster: Access to your on-premises...
