I really want to laugh along with the other cool kids at the classification of Mongo as "Not a DB" but I have no idea what he means by that.

- idunno246 9y agoWhen mongo came out the picked some bad defaults so it never waited for an ack for writes. So data was lost, but benchmarks looked amazing. It had a lot of other problems, it became too big too fast by promising magic it didn't deliver. Not sure how it is right now. besides that flame attempt, his definition of columnar databases doesn't match the standard - Dynamodb is pretty much the complete opposite of columnar.
- projectramo 9y agoThanks for the explanation. I am a fan of joking flame wars as long as it is understood to be in good fun.
