Hello, Jean-Daniel,
Thank you for telling me good pointers. I was afraid I could get my question
to be noticed by FB people and obtain reliable answers, so I asked here. One
more reason is that I'm a fan of HBase (I'm sorry I thought this might not
be the best place to ask this question.)
Anyway, I'm still unsure what usage/operations are not handled well by
Cassandra's eventual consistency. In other words, I'd very much like to what
kind of usages HBase is pratical for. Sharing such experience will help us
understand the goodness of HBase further. I've been wondering if eventual
consistency is pratically acceptable for many people. FB's experience would
be influencial.
However, I feel this is not the best place to ask. So, I won't continue this
question here.
Regards,
- Maumau

This isn't the right forum for that kind of discussion.
I recommend going on Quora which already has a few good threads on the
subject, answered by FB folks, namely:
http://www.quora.com/Why-did-Facebook-pick-HBase-instead-of-Cassandra-for-the-new-messaging-platform
and

Thanks,
