HBase or Cassandra? A Comparative study of NoSQL Database Performance

Prashanth Jakkula · International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications · 2020

A significant growth in data has been observed with the growth in technology and population.This data is non-relational and unstructured and often referred to as NoSQL data.It is growing in complexity for the traditional database management systems to manage such vast databases.Present day cloud services are offering numerous NoSQL databases to manage such non-relational databases ad-dressing different user specific requirements such as performance, availability, security etc. Hence there is a need to evaluate and find the behavior of different NoSQL databases in virtual environments.This study aims to evaluate two popular NoSQL databases and in support to the study, a benchmarking tool is used to compare the performance difference between HBase and Cassandra on a virtual instance deployed on OpenStack.
