It is fault tolerant and consistent
Gigabytes to petabytes scalabilities
It is a column-oriented database
No single point of failure
No need for separate caching layer
Flexible schema design
It has flexible data storage, easy data distribution, and fast writes
It supports ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability)properties
Multi-data center and cloud capable
Data compression
