AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Reviewers mention that Hbase excels in its auto sharding capabilities, scoring 8.6, which allows for efficient distribution of data across multiple nodes, enhancing performance and scalability. In contrast, Cassandra also offers auto sharding but with a slightly lower emphasis on this feature.
- Users report that Hbase's data model is rated at 8.1, providing a robust structure for handling large datasets, while Cassandra's data model, although effective, does not receive the same level of praise, indicating potential limitations in complex data handling.
- G2 users highlight Hbase's ease of setup, scoring 7.3, as a point of frustration compared to Cassandra's higher score of 8.2, suggesting that users find Cassandra more straightforward to implement in their environments.
- Users on G2 note that Hbase's data replication feature scores 7.2, which is adequate but not as strong as Cassandra's performance in this area, where users report a more reliable and efficient replication process.
- Reviewers say that Hbase's security features, particularly in role-based authorization, score 7.7, indicating a solid framework for managing user permissions, while Cassandra's security features, including encryption, are perceived as lacking, with a score of 6.7.
- Users report that Hbase's overall stability is rated at 7.9, which is competitive, but Cassandra edges ahead with an 8.0 rating, suggesting that users experience slightly fewer issues with downtime or performance hiccups when using Cassandra.

In HBase, we cannot implement any cross data operations and joining operations, of course, we can implement the joining operations using MapReduce, which would take a lot of time to designing and development. How we can improve this??
