All:

I=92m doing a study on HBase schema design, with a goal of contributing bac=
k a presentation or summary about how data modeling is practically done in =
HBase. I'd like to base it as much as possible on real world examples (i.e.=
 things that are running in production today). I=92ve got several examples =
already, but I=92d love more input from the community. If you have designed=
 an HBase schema that worked really well (or, conversely, that failed in an=
 instructive way), and feel like sharing it with me, I=92d love to hear abo=
ut it (you can email me directly, or share it on the list). If you'd like t=
he source or identifying details to be obfuscated, that's totally doable.

In particular, I would *love* to hear about people doing complex things wit=
hin a single HBase row (like, storing several entities=92 worth of data in =
columns / column families of the same HBase row, for atomicity or other rea=
sons). Also interested in nifty stuff using atomic increments, check & sets=
, etc. Generally, any clever insights you have about how to make conceptual=
 data models work well on HBase are what I'd love to digest and share with =
the community.

Thanks!
Ian
