While you guys are going back and forth... a simple reminder.
Not everyone has the same  base level of experience so their ability to 
'cookbook' an install will vary.
Not every company is trying to solve the same problem so that in using either 
beast, their experiences will vary.

Can't we just all get along? :-)

Both HBase and Cassandra are tools. While similar they have a different fit 
within the portfolio of options.
Its like being on a golf course and trying to decide if you should use a 7 iron 
or an 8 iron ...
