NoSQL Week in Review 7
Weeks are passing, we’ve reached the 7th edition of NoSQL week in review and we are learning every day more about the NoSQL environment. This last week we’ve seen some good benchmarks but also some bad ones, we’ve looked at what NoSQL can learn from LDAP history and we’ve agreed that NoSQL is here to stay.
But for me the high of the week would be the collaborative way we’ve got to answer a critical question about NoSQL systems: how should we avoid bursting blocking writes. We ended up covering a lot of systems: Terrastore, Redis, Tokyo Cabinet, CouchDB, FleetDB, HBase, Riak and Project Voldemort. I am so grateful to all the guys that helped me out. Thank you!
What’s Hot in the NoSQL World
- Memcachedb Bursting Blocking Writes
- Basic Benchmark: CouchDB vs MongoDB vs MySQL
- Some Cool NoSQL Utilities for Neo4j
- Lessons Learned from Using Hadoop and HBase in Production
- Brief NoSQL News
New NoSQL Releases
The major release of this past week is Redis 1.2.0. There are so many goodies inside that I haven’t been able to cover it yet, but it is coming early on Monday. As noted in our brief NoSQL news there are a couple of releases preparing for the next couple of weeks: Cassandra, Neo4j, Project Voldemort and Terrastore.
Update: the Redis 1.2.0 release article was published.

Sid Anand ( @r39132 ), Netflix cloud engineer, has a series of articles covering the challenges the team down there faced while working on this Oracle/SimpleDB hybrid NoSQL solution:”…
