HBase: Bigtable-like structured storage for Hadoop HDFS

HBase has an awesome community resource in our online book. It's maintained and looked after with diligence. In contrast, the below Wiki content has not been updated since 2012.

For that reason, the Wiki has been deprecated (see HBASE-14481). Please update your links. You can find historical pages (which have been updated to give the new links to the relevant content) below.
