NoSQL Week in Review 25
The headlines of last week have been a series of updates on Cassandra usage (see Cassandra Status Inside Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and More, Updates on Cassandra Usage at Twitter, and A Longer Version of the News on Cassandra Usage at Twitter) and a topic I’ve covered in great details months ago: MongoDB durability which ☞ resurfaced.
What’s Hot in the NoSQL World
- Cassandra Status Inside Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and More
- Cassandra and HBase Compared
- Updates on Cassandra Usage at Twitter
- Hadoop Ecosystem… Endangered by Being Open Source?
- Getting Started with NoSQL and Data Scalability Cheatsheet
A couple of oldies (but goldies) have resurfaced this week, my stats showing that myNoSQL has been able to correctly capture the trends:
- Cassandra @ Twitter: An Interview with Ryan King
- MongoDB Durability: A Tradeoff to Be Aware Of
- Get a Taste of Graph Databases: InfoGrid, Neo4j, sones GraphDB, Filament, and InfiniteGraph
- A Brief Comparison of MongoDB and CouchDB
