Is there a paper/blog-post on when to use Cassandra or Membase or Hadoop or plain old relational databases ? Is there a paper discussing the strengths/weaknesses of each, and on what scenarios either of these technologies should be chosen ?

I am thinking of writing a new webservice which will have about a million hits per day and data spanning about a few terabytes.
