Benefit of hbase over mongo

What is the benefit of hbase over mongo? Is it that we can append the new messages to each row, instead of rewriting the entire row each time?

Hi @Dewey_Munoz

Yes, what you think is right. Unlike HBase, MongoDB stores data in documents rather than rows and columns, thus we can append the new messages to each row, instead of rewriting the entire row each time.
