The hardest part about learning Hbase (the open source implementation of Google's BigTable), is just wrapping your mind around what it actually is. It's especially difficult if you're already well versed in RDBMS nomenclature since these systems reuse some of the same terms (like "table" and "column") but with very different meanings.
This article aims to explain these distributed data storage systems from a conceptual standpoint. After reading it, you should be better able to make an educated decision regarding when you might want to use Hbase vs when you'd be better off with a "traditional" database.
