MongoDB is actually "cached" db, meaning that, most of its records are

I think there is also a memcached and DB hybrid which comes w/ a
persistent option. i think it's called memcachedDB, which runs a in-
memory db(like mongodb). this shares most of common api w/ memcached
so you dont have to change code very much

membase is compatible with memcached protocol, has a 20MByte default
object size limit, lets you define memory and disk usage across nodes in
different "buckets".

memcacheDB is challenging to deploy for a few reasons, one of which is
that the topology is fixed at deployment time.

Does anyone know how these would compare to 'riak', a distributed database that can do redundancy with some fault tolerance and knows how to rebalance the storage across nodes when they are added or removed? (Other than the different client interface...).
