Мне интересно, использует ли HBase хранилище на основе столбцов или хранилище на основе строк?

I read some technical documents and mentioned advantages of HBase is using column based storage to store similar data together to foster compression. So it means same columns of different rows are stored together; But I also learned HBase is a sorted key-value map. It uses key to address all related columns for that key (row), so it seems to be a row based storage?

Будем признательны, если кто-нибудь сможет прояснить мои заблуждения.

заранее спасибо, Джордж
