That is probably the most apt description of MongoDB I've ever read.
- threeseed 10y agoFilesystems don't intrisincally support searching the contents of the files to satisfy predicates. And that is the most important part of a database. I think I understand what the author means by the statement. But technically it doesn't make much sense.
- raverbashing 10y agoYeah, technically you could bring grep to your fs instead of having it as a userspace tool, but 90% of the work is on the fs
- bonesmoses 10y agoIt may or may not be apt, but it just felt like I was dumping JSON objects wherever, with a loosely applied path of db.collection to keep things together.
