The Bigtable HBase Client
As mentioned, Bigtable directly influenced several open source NoSQL projects. One such project is Apache HBase. HBase is extremely similar in implementation to Bigtable, designed to run on top of Hadoop clusters. Because HBase is so similar to Bigtable, Google is able to implement the HBase API on top of Bigtable, albeit with some nuances. The Google Cloud Bigtable HBase client for Java is a customized implementation of the HBase API, compatible with versions 1.0 to 1.3 of the Apache version. For more details on the nuances of the Cloud Bigtable HBase Java client library, please refer to https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/docs/hbase-differences.
