Which is better Neo4j or HBASE

Question

I want to convert a Employee payroll database to Nosql. I heard that we can do this using HBASE or Neo4j so I got confused here. Please tell me which is better to use HBASE or Neo4j for my use case? Or if you guys have any other suggestion please tell me.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

For your requirement, I would recommend you to go with Neo4j.

I guess, Payroll dataset is tiny and Hbase is generally used for large volumes of data. It is a data storage.

Hbase is geared more towards batch processing of large volumes of not structured data rather than OLTP (what you need for Payroll).

So, Neo4j is best suited for you in this use case.

Hope it helps!
