What about things like Hadoop HBase or Bigtable? Surely those are aiming to replicate an RDBMS like environment but on a massively more scalable platform.

- fauigerzigerk 18y agoBigTable is totally unrelated to MapReduce though. It gains scalability by stripping 90% of the query and indexing features of RDBMS. It may be a reasonable tradeoff for a datastore that's supposed to support one single relatively simple application that's hit by millions of people. Not many apps work that way though, and those who do may be equally well served by a plain file system.
