Considered Both Products	Amazon AWS No answer on this topic	Apache Anson Abraham Data Lord in Engineering at Envisagenics, Inc. (Marketing and Advertising, 51-200 employees) Chose HBase Cassandra os great for writes. But with large datasets, depending, not as great as HBASE. Cassandra does support parquet now. HBase still performance issues. Cassandra has use cases of being used as time series. HBase, it fails miserably. GeoSpatial data, Hbase does work … Incentivized Helpful?
