This document summarizes a research paper that evaluates Cassandra and MongoDB NoSQL databases for processing unstructured data using Hadoop streaming. It proposes a system with three stages: data preparation where data is downloaded from Cassandra servers to file systems; data transformation where JSON data is converted to other formats using MapReduce; and data processing where non-Java executables run on the transformed data. The document reviews related work on Cassandra and Hadoop performance and discusses the data models of key-value, document, column-oriented, and graph databases. It concludes that comparing Cassandra and MongoDB can help process unstructured data and outline new approaches.
