I am always a bit surprised that HBase/Phoenix aren't more widely celebrated in the scale out database scene vs Cassandra, MongoDB, etc but a lot of people designing new systems as users of these DB systems have NFC what they are doing and I guess are swayed by marketing stickers and tshirts? G's BigTable/Spanner if you can afford to outsource..

HBase is quite versatile, Facebook's HydraBase is a good example of doing things people think they need Cassandra for https://code.facebook.com/posts/321111638043166/hydrabase-the-evolution-of-hbase-facebook/ https://code.facebook.com/posts/321111638043166/hydrabase-th.... It's also telling they as the creator abandoned Cassandra, but C* has some very niche conceivable uses (eager replication cache for metadata?). Mongo is just stupid.
