# Semantic Conventions for HBase

**Status**: [Experimental][DocumentStatus]

The Semantic Conventions for [HBase](https://hbase.apache.org/) extend and override the [Database Semantic Conventions](database-spans.md)
that describe common database operations attributes in addition to the Semantic Conventions
described on this page.

`db.system` MUST be set to `"hbase"`.

## Call-level attributes

<!-- semconv db.hbase(full,tag=call-level-tech-specific) -->
| Attribute  | Type | Description  | Examples  | Requirement Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [`db.name`](../attributes-registry/db.md) | string | The HBase namespace. [1] | `mynamespace` | Conditionally Required: If applicable. |

**[1]:** For HBase the `db.name` should be set to the HBase namespace.
