Big data books to start a career

I apologize if this isn't the right area to ask but I'm looking to get into the big data field (I would like to work in the industry) so would anyone happen to know of some great books on big data? I'm looking for anything on Hadoop or HBase. Thanks so much!

How to know which region server to write to in HBase

Is HBase a better choice than Cassandra for big data?

We're trying to decide which software would be best for us when it comes to our big data. We're currently between HBase and Cassasndra (with Hadoop) and we're learning more towards HBase. Do you guys think HBase is a better choice for us? Is there really any difference between the two?

Document database for big data

My department has around 100 million of records in a database. But roughly 65% of the records will be deleted on a daily basis and roughly the same amount of records will be added in. We feel like a big data document database like HBase, Cassandra or Hadoop could do this for us but we're not sure...

Process range of Hbase rows using Spark

We've been using HBase as a data source for Spark. We've already created a RDD from a HBase table but we can't figure out a way to create a RDD for a range scan. Does anyone know how to do it?

Apache HBase: How to count number of rows quickly

Currently in Apache HBase, I've been implementing row count over ResultScanner, like this: for (Result rs = scanner.next(); rs != null; rs = scanner.next()) { number++; } But my data is starting to reach the millions so the computing is big. I'm trying to compute it real-time but I would like to...
