NoSQL Frankfurt: A Quick Review of the Conference

Yesterday was the NoSQL Frankfurt conference and today we have the chance to review some of the slide decks presented.

Beyond NoSQL with MarkLogic and The Universal Index

Nuno Job (@dscape) has presented on MarkLogic — an XML server we haven’t talked too much about, its universal index, and a couple of other interesting features.

The GraphDB Landscape and sones

Achim Friedland (@ahzf) has provided a very interesting overview of the graph databases products, the goals and some scenarios for graph databases, a brief comparison of property graphs with other models (relational databases, object-oriented, semantic web/RDF, and many other interesting aspects.

Data Modeling with Cassandra Column Families

Gary Dusbabek (@gdusbabek) has covered data modeling with Cassandra (the topic I’m still finding to be one of the most complicated).

Neo4j Spatial - GIS for the rest of us

Peter Neubauer (@peterneubauer) covered another interesting topic in the data space: geographic information (GIS) in graph databases.

Even if GISers suggested this integration some time ago Neo4j announced recently support for GEO.

Cassandra vs Redis

Tim Lossen (@tlossen) slides compare Cassandra and Redis from the perspective of a Facebook game requirements. All I can say is that the conclusion is definitely interesting, but you’ll have to check the slides by yourselves.

Mastering Massive Data Volumes with Hypertable

Doug Judd — who impressed me with his fantastic Hypertable: The Ultimate Scaling Machine at the Berlin Buzzwords NoSQL conference — gave a talk on Hypertable, its architecture and performance. The presentation also mentioned two Hypertable case studies: Zvents (an analytics platform) and Reddiff.com (spam classification)^[1]:

More presentations will be added as I’m receiving them.
