> The antecedents of NoSQL were the parallel programming models of HPC. Can you elaborate on what you are thinking of? As a refresh, here's when and how the (current usage at least) of NoSQL was introduced: https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/big_data_and_business_intelligence/9781782175346/1/ch01lvl1sec09/introducing-nosql-not-only-sql https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/big_data_and_business... in 2009. > As Oskarsson had described, the meeting was about open source, distributed, non-relational databases, for anyone who had "… run into limitations with traditional relational databases…," with the aim of "… figuring out why these newfangled Dynamo clones and BigTables have become so popular lately."
