With these sorts of academic benchmarks I frequently find myself questioning what exactly got tested. The researchers obviously know what they're doing, but that doesn't make them experts on all of the technologies under test. Their description of their HBase configuration in particular leaves me skeptical of how closely it reflects a well-tuned production setup. I think publishing the actual configuration files they used for each technology would be a big help.
