MariaDB is MySQL compatible. Had they gone with Cassandra, they would have had to replace the PHP-based MediaWiki software with something else. So not only the database, the entire software stack would have to be replaced as well.
Also, speaking from a few years' personal experience with HBase / Cassandra, the support for non-Java languages on these two NoSQL databases is small (though it is getting better.)

Though node.js tends to be very flexible in terms of wrapping a friendlier interface around a less friendly one.
