NoSQL Week in Review 19
It looks like this week didn’t start too well. Firstly, due to the ash cloud over Europe I haven’t been able to make it to London for the ☞ no:sql(eu) conference where I was scheduled to present an overview of the NoSQL world. Together with the event organizers, we’ve decided that it is in the best interest of the audience to have Tim Anglade cover this subject.
Secondly, through the myNoSQL readers, I’ve heard of at least two copycats of this blog. While it is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery, unfortunately I cannot agree that copy-pasting content falls in this category. So please continue to let me know when you see this sort of copycats and please avoid visiting such sites (f.e. nosql-blog.com). As a side note, I have tried to contact the authors of these copycats but haven’t heard back from them. myNoSQL is still the best source of daily NoSQL news, articles, analysis and links covering all major NoSQL projects and following closely all things related to the NoSQL ecosystem.
And now, our weekly sections:
What’s Hot in the NoSQL World
- Presentation: Gary Dusbabek (Rackspace) on Cassandra
- HBase @ Adobe: An Interview with Adobe SaaS Infrastructure Team
- Redis-powered Facebook-like newsfeeds
- Learn about Conflict Resolution and Vector Clocks
- Paper: The Graph Traversal Pattern
I’d like to emphasize the new interview I’ve obtained in exclusivity for the myNoSQL users with the Adobe SaaS Infrastructure Team on their usage of HBase. I will continue to pursue such interviews with teams using NoSQL solutions on their projects. In case you work for such a team please feel free to contact me for arranging an interview.

- HBase @ Adobe: An Interview with Adobe SaaS Infrastructure Team
“About one month ago, the Adobe SaaS Infrastructure Team (ASIT) has published two excellent articles on their experience and work with HBase. I had the chance to get into some more details with the team driving this effort — thanks a lot guys! — and here is the final result of our conversation: …”
- Memcached on top of Redis?

- Redis-powered Facebook-like newsfeeds
“As we’ve learned over time there are only two ways to keep your service usable: either make it fast for every access or do the work upfront. Each of these comes with their limitations and costs and for the proposed solution using the precomputing approach these are well explained in the linked article: …”
- Learn about Conflict Resolution and Vector Clocks
“After spending some time in the NoSQL space you start hearing about conflict resolution, vector clocks, version vectors, etc. While some of the NoSQL projects do not need any of these either because they are not distributed or because they use a central node for coordinating writes, sooner or later you’ll probably still need to learn about them…”
- Paper: The Graph Traversal Pattern
“A paper on graph databases and their applicability by Marko A. Rodriguez and Peter Neubauer: …”
