I see where you are coming from. HBase was unstable 3-4 years ago, but after a great amount of dev effort and battle hardening from Cloudera, Salesforce, etc., it is very stable now. We have ~ 400 nodes running in production for a very critical use case and have seen 0 data loss edge cases in the last 2 years, along with some of our servers running > 6 months without any reboots.
We use is in a very real time use case with latency requirements of single digit milliseconds, and if you tweak it the right way, you can the required performance from it, along with easy horizontal scaling.
Also, I am curious too for aphyr to take on HBase, but I don't think the result would be different since running Jepsen is straightfoward and not much to a person's interpretation. The results and further experiments are what aphyr does nicely.

Thanks for the info on HBase stability. I probably won't use it again (once burnt...), but if they really managed to pull their act together - good for them!
