There are quite a few differences. Ultimately it depends on your use
case! For example Mongo has a limit on the maximum "document" size of
4MB, whereas with Cassandra you are not really limited to the volume
of data/columns per-row (I think there maybe a limit of 2GB perhaps;
basically none)
Another point re: search volumes is that mongo has been actively
promoting over the last few months. I recently attended an excellent
conference day in London which was very cheap; tickets probably didn't
cover the costs. I guess this is part of their strategy. Eg: encourage
adoption.

Also, google trends is only a measure of what terms people are
searching for. To equate this directly to growth would be misleading.

It seems to me that both projects have pretty vibrant communities behind them.

Can someone quickly explain the differences between the two? Other than the
fact that MongoDB supports ad-hoc querying I don't know whats different. It
also appears (using google trends) that MongoDB seems to be growing while
Cassandra is dying off. Is this the case?
Thanks for the help
Well my initial use case would be to store our search logs and perform
some ad-hoc querying which I know is a win for Mongo. However I don't
think I fully understand how to build indexes in Cassandra so maybe its
just an issue of ignorance. I know going forward though we would be
expanding it to house our per item translations.
