What is the difference between HBase and Cassandra?
HBase has a master-based architecture while Cassandra has a masterless one. It means that HBase comes with a single failure point, while Cassandra does not. The HBase client communicates directly with slave-server without contacting master, this gives a working time once the master is down.
Is HBase an adaption of Google Bigtable?
As Don Branson said, HBase was based on the Bigtable WhitePaper. When Cloud Bigtable launched, the open source client libraries of Cloud Bigtable implemented the same set of interfaces as the HBase client libraries. HBase and Bigtable have similar models, so the APIs are quite similar.
Is BigTable open source?
Now available in beta, Google Cloud Bigtable is accessed through the open-source Apache HBase API, making it natively integrated with much of the existing big-data and Hadoop ecosystem, the company said.
When should I use Cassandra?
