Hi Percy, Just my $.02 but there are quite a lot of case studies out there from the major distributions and tech journalists. Maybe start there.
I think a search for Hadoop use cases or (sorry) Big Data use cases would turn up some useful examples about how organizations are using some of the products you mention. I know in my shop we cook up new use cases almost weekly :) Happy reading!

So lets say an organization has Hadoop and Cassandra or MongoDB and everything up and running. Then what ? What do you do with it and How ? What are the typical business applications that run against it ? Do you have to write something in Java/Python/PHP to get anything you want out of it ? Like for example if the Oracle Rdbms was the new thing today then the answer to this question would be - it can be used to develop OLTP or Data Warehouse or Analytical applications using Java/php and PL/SQL, or using Informatica, Cognos and such tools to move and analyze data. I guess I am looking for just real world day-to-day use cases of the Hadoop ecosystem. Would appreciate if anyone can put this into context and perspective for me. Thanks! -Percy.
