Let me reply here before I get around to playing with JIRA. I'd like to
explain my motivations, which might clarify a few things. Firstly, I do
not advocate anything like a wholesale switch from RDBMS to NoSQL;
that's going to depend on scenarios, and not all scenarios (perhaps just
a few) drive such a need. My motivations create an opportunity to keep
such scalability in mind. In my own use cases, I imagine leaving user
persistence to RDBMS and persisting nodes and timelines in NoSQL; since
I built a tiny microblog platform in pure Java that used Redis, that's
where my thinking started.
The project du jour is not a microblog, but, instead, a "structured
conversation" platform. It's pre-pre-pre-alpha prototype, and is online
at http://www.topicspaces.org:8888/; it's written in Lift, and is being
used to test UI and data structure ideas that I think might find their
way into a microblog--specifically, say, an extended ESME, some day in
the future. I am bringing up Redis in that platform now; it's becoming
clear that this is not your father's Mapper application; something
different seems to be emerging.
Cheers

Port the ESME to REDIS
----------------------
Key: ESME-358
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ESME-358
Project: Enterprise Social Messaging Environment (ESME)
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Server
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Dick Hirsch
Fix For: Backlog, 1.4
The idea is to replace the existing RDBMS with REDIS.
Perhaps via an option in the default properties?
Here are details from the mailing list:
I started with https://github.com/indrajitr/scala-redis and, thanks to
conversations with Indrajit, have learned that I can craft what I call
RedisModel (an object) that holds a live instance of RedisClient and presents a
useful API for doing timelines and nodes. I'm working on that now. RedisClient
must be configured in Boot.scala
