Good idea, if at all feasible :)
Now that you bring the issue about supporting NoSQL databases, we can think
of plenty other cases, *e.g.*, MongoDB, HBase, Hypertable, Impala, Drill.
Note that Hypertable may be easier to support, as it is being developed
natively in C++. As for Impala, a friend of mine is developing a JDBC
driver and a client wrapper interface (
https://github.com/pauldeschacht/impala-java-client), but it is in Java...
Kind regards
