Why would logging to MySQL be a better tool for the job than NoSQL? Unless you're routinely purging the MySQL tables fairly often (during which case, it almost doesn't matter what you're using), my best guess is that you're going to end up with a slower database on read than you would with almost any NoSQL alternative. Of course, you could keep the MySQL tables flat, but if that's what you're doing, why use MySQL at all?
