> Yeah. They are talking about KEY-F-ING-VALUE-CODING! No they are not. KVC is handling foo.b...@sum.amount.com. Not get foo from one store, then get bar and then see what you can do with it. This is mainly a bunch of persistent hash tables.
What they *are* talking about is de-normaliziation of data, not doing proper transactions or ACID in general at the expense of, uh what? Scalability? The inherent schema-less-ness? My guess is that the "cool kids" use them because they don't need big iron and a bunch of overpaid DB-admins to manage huge growth. It's no big deal to add EOF adaptors to support them, some may or may not be underway.
