# HBase (1.4+) Driver for YCSB
This driver is a binding for the YCSB facilities to operate against a HBase 1.4+ Server cluster, using a shaded client that tries to avoid leaking third party libraries.

See `hbase098/README.md` for a quickstart to setup HBase for load testing and common configuration details.

## Configuration Options
In addition to those options available for the `hbase098` binding, the following options are available for the `hbase14` binding:

* `durability`: Whether or not writes should be appended to the WAL. Bypassing the WAL can improve throughput but data cannot be recovered in the event of a crash. The default is true.
