Is there a paper/blog-post on when to use Cassandra or Membase or Hadoop or plain old relational databases ? Is there a paper discussing the strengths/weaknesses of each, and on what scenarios either of these technologies should be chosen ?
I am thinking of writing a new webservice which will have about a million hits per day and data spanning about a few terabytes.

Conclusion: The decision between the two depends on how you will query. If it is mostly by the primary index, Cassandra will do the job. If you need a flexible model with efficient secondary indexes, MongoDB would be a better solution.
MongoDB is an open source NoSQL database management program. NoSQL is used as an alternative to traditional relational databases. NoSQL databases are quite useful for working with large sets of distributed data. MongoDB is a tool that can manage document-oriented information, store or retrieve information.
