You would be surprised how many people pick software a of software b based on initial impressions. The reason I ended up choosing cassandra over hbase mostly boilded down to c* being easy to set up and not crashing. If it took us say 3 days to stand up a cassandra cluster and do the hello world thing i might very well be a voldemort user! -- Sorry this was sent from mobile.
