title: Hbase design best practice
body: <p>I have a bunch of xmls in my hdfs and I would need to store them in hbase . The xml attributes mainly metadata fields of a pdf record are not the same for all but vary and few might have more than the other . One of the attribute is a text stream from a pdf . </p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to design the table .</p>
  
  <p>From my understanding I would need 3 columns - key, metadata cf , textstream . </p>
  
  <p>Need advise . Thanks </p>
