Big Data Debate: HBase

NoSQL is my least favorite buzzword of the decade. It means absolutely nothing but being counter cultural to... SQL culture. Many NoSQL "databases"—and I use that in the lightest term possible—even have SQL engines.

I laugh at mongodb, but every time I've seen a shootout between Hbase and Cassandra, Cassandra has won.

some people even describe hbase as nosql, because its not sql right? unless you use cloudera impala, which is sql, but impala is supposed to kill sql too. in the end no one wins.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, Impala is in no no way trying to replace "SQL". Impala is a general purpose distributed query engine that currently translates SQL to a query plan.

Could you please elaborate? It totally depends on use case...
