Maybe it's because RavenDB is a document database as opposed to an OLAP database (I'm assuming that's what you refer to when you say billions of rows with wide data and not another NoSQL like Mongo). Indexes and data arrangement between the two types are not an apples to apples comparison.
- endersshadow 15y agoI was mostly referring to a relational database, but I do a lot of work with multidimensional databases (mostly SQL Server Analysis Services). You don't typically do full text searching on a cube. In warehousing, you often get wide tables because they're optimized for the reads, not the writes, so are typically second normal form (2NF) rather than the third normal form (3NF) that most people are familiar with.
