What storage engine is used in hbase?

---

I think JohnJohnGa was asking about the storage engine and not the file system. I believe this link is more informative: http://www.larsgeorge.com/2009/10/hbase-architecture-101-storage.html. Also good reading material is here: http://www.slideshare.net/raveenvr/datastores. The authors compare the storing engine of several solutions including MongoDB and HBase.

Hope this helps

Quoting wikipedia, it seems HBase :

runs on top of HDFS (Hadoop Distributed Filesystem)
