I guess there's a bit more to it than that. I understand the fb employees that took over were Hadoop guys so it made complete sense for fb to go in that direction.
The bit I don't get is why is hbase still a bit of a turtle. For example a recent paper linked to from here had random read and write workload running at 180k ops / sec on a 6 node Cassandra cluster but only 20k ops / sec for the same workload on hbase.
