F1 is obviously new and it is not clear how (if at all) Google would release it for non-Google users, but it is a fact that one of the largest big data users in the world felt the need for such a thing. Mongo could handle joins in a forced non-natural way which they call "embedded documents and linking". This is akin to what is done in IMS. Don't misunderstand me, Mongo has its uses, but OLTP is decidedly not one of them. The flatter the data model in Mongo, the better you realize its benefits. Again, for complex data models you would want something better.
