At the time that Facebook chose HBase, Cassandra was drastically less mature than it is now and I think the original creators had already left. There were already various Hadoop variants running for data analytics etc, so lots of operational and engineering experience around it available. So, probably not a useful example to use in a technical comparison between current HBase and current Cassandra. Also, FB has since abandoned HBase for messenger in favor of MyRocks.
