Explain about hlog and wal in hbase...

Answer / Ritu Brijpal Saini

In HBase, HLog (Write Ahead Log) is a file used for storing writes that have been acknowledged but not yet committed. WAL files are used to ensure data durability by allowing recovery from failures. When a RegionServer fails, it can replay the HLog files to recover lost data. Write Ahead Logs are merged into memstores and sent to HDFS.
