Difference between HBase and MongoDB

1. HBase: This model is used to provide random access to a large amount of structured data. It builds on the top of the Hadoop file system and is column-oriented in nature. It is used to store the data in HDFS. It is an open-source database that provides data replication. 

Advantages:

• High availability because of no SPoF (Single Point of Failure)
• Scalability
• Operational Simplicity
• Add-on applications like Apache Phoenix enables a SQL interface

Application Areas:

• Internet of Things (IoT)
• fraud detection applications
• product catalogs and playlists
• messaging applications
• web applications

Users:

• Apple 
• Bloomberg
• Airtel 
• Thomson Reuters, and more.

2. MongoDB: MongoDB is document-oriented and does not need the row and column format of data. It gives high performance and is dynamic in nature where we don’t need to predefine a schema like in conventional RDBMS. MongoDB stores data in JSON format which allows you to send the data in any form you want. It is a cross-platform database that works with almost every platform like Windows, Linux, etc. 

Advantages:

• Consistent Interface for whole development that simplifies the development
• Multi-cloud Infrastructure
• Managed for operational simplicity

Application Areas:

• Internet of Things and Time Series 
• eCommerce and Payment Processing 
• Analytic and AI 
• Gaming 
• Mainframe Offload 

Users:

• Amadeus
• AstraZeneca
• Bosch
• Cisco
• CERN
• Forbes
• Verizon Wireless
