%T A Process for Inference of Columnar NoSQL Database Schemas
%K
%X Although NoSQL Databases do not require a schema a priori, to be aware of the database schema is essential for activities like data integration, data validation or data interoperability. This paper presents a process for inference of columnar NoSQL DB schemas. We validate the proposed process through a prototype tool that is able to extract schemas from the HBase columnar NoSQL database system. HBase was chosen as a case study because it is one of the most popular columnar NoSQL solutions. When compared to related work, we novel by proposing a simple solution for the inference of column data types for columnar NoSQL databases that store only byte arrays as column values, as well as a generated schema that follows the JSON Schema format.
