I think this has been a big driving force in the nosql movement - massive databases with high avail and high transactions are very common these days, To do these types of systems in oracle or sql server would require rooms of servers and complex architecture, many of these databases like Cassandra, Hadoop etal tackle this problem.
U2 could be good in this arena as it is a small footprint fairly fast simplistic interface, but it falls a long way short fulfilling these distributed, and horizontal scaling requirements that many of the nosql databases excel at.

I remember the Cassandra presenter invoked blasphemies like "forget about persisting data" when considering application like social networking. Thus real-time chit-chat (is in RAM) and takes big priority over last week's chit-chat . --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 12:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] NoSQL I thought that the reasoning behind NoSQL wasn't to speed up access, but that all aspects of gigantic databases cannot be made available to a given user at a given moment. So it's a kind of distributed database without a universal view of real-time data. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _____ No virus found in this message.
