How to choose between Cassandra Membase Hadoop MongoDB and RDBMS

Question

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.

Answer 1

Actually it comes in two ways: One is SQL and the other one is NOSQL Database.
NOSQL Database consist of: Cassandra & MongoDB

SQL Database consist of: RDBMS Membase etc

I have mentioned few books and papers here. You can refer them.

The NoSQL Ecosystem by Adam Marcus (from the book The Architecture of open source applications): http://www.aosabook.org/en/nosql.html
