A new article takes a look at NoSQL job trends, paying particular attention to jobs calling for Cassandra, Redis, Voldemort, SimpleDB, CouchDB, MongoDB, HBase, Hypertable, and Riak experience. The article notes, “Hadoop continues to be the clear leader in demand and tends to flattens the trends of other solutions. Hadoop is still the clear leader in demand, but other tools are closing that gap. So, Hadoop could return to the analysis in the next update.”
The article states, “MongoDB has overtaken Cassandra in terms of demand, and has a significant lead already. MongoDB has grown rapidly in the past 18 months and has received a significant amount of publicity. Cassandra actually looks to be leveling off, with a slight decline in the past few months. HBase is still growing, with a better upward trend than it had during the previous 12 months. Redis is showing nice growth in the past 6 months, with a significantly better trend than previous months. CouchDB is still growing, but has slowed a bit lately.”
It continues, “SimpleDB and Voldemort both have shown basically no growth in the past year, possibly being overshadowed by the other tools. It may be difficult to see in the graph, but Riak has a very solid growth trend and passing SimpleDB and Voldemort in the process. Hypertable demand is completely flat and barely registers which means it may not be in the next update. One minor note for these trends, Cassandra has some noise in the job postings and I am looking for a way to filter properly.”
