39. Which one?
• document based
• column or key-value store
• advanced storage schemas
Wednesday, June 16, 2010

• document based
• on-demand queries
• automatic sharding
• no single-node durability
Wednesday, June 16, 2010

43. CoachDB
• document based
• map-reduce javascript querying/filtering.
• has some replication and scaling problems
Wednesday, June 16, 2010

44. REDIS
• key-value store
• advanced data types: list, set
• atomic operations
