How to learn HBase

The basic answer is

• Read the BigTable paper;
• Learn the HBase architecture;
• Read the forum message and absorb there.

Here is one place where this is well said in more details, and besides, one of my HBase expert friends gave the same answer.

I am beginning the fourth chapter of the book, where I want to offer programmers and other software developers :) a way that would teach them what they need to know, in a simple, clear way, and also give them the best design practices. When I have that, I will give a short outline, and post the exercises.
