Srini Penchikala of InfoQ recently discussed the state of NoSQL with a number of NoSQL experts. Penchikala writes, ” NoSQL database space has different databases that support different data storage patterns. InfoQ spoke with four panelists about the current state of NoSQL adoption, architecture patterns supported by different NoSQL databases, and security aspects when using NoSQL databases. Following are the panelists we spoke with and the NoSQL databases they discussed: Robin Schumacher from Datastax to speak about Cassandra, a Column-family based database; Jared Rosoff, 10gen to talk about MongoDB, a Document based NoSQL database; Darren Wood, Chief Architect at Objectivity Inc. to discuss InfiniteGraph, a graph-oriented database; [and] John Davies, CTO and co-founder of Incept5.”
The questions asked included: “(1) What is the current state of NoSQL databases in terms of enterprise adoption? (2) Can you discuss the core architectural patterns your NoSQL database product supports in the areas of data persistence, retrieval, and other database related concerns? (3) What are the use cases or applications that are best suited to use your product? (4) What are the limitations or constraints of using the product? (5) Cross-Store Persistence concept is getting a lot of attention lately. This can be used to persist the data into different databases including NoSQL and Relational databases. Can you talk about this approach and how it can help the application developers who need to connect to multiple databases from a single application? (6) What do you see as the role of In-memory data grids (IMDG) in the polyglot persistence space?”
