For people who don't want to take form participants in this thread, maybe you should consider listening to no other than Mike Stonebraker[1]:
NoSQL databases that store data as JSON documents, such as MongoDB and Couchbase, benefited from developer excitement over a denormalized data structures, a lower-level API, and horizontal scalability at the cost of ACID transactions. However, document stores “are on a collision course with RDBMSs,” the authors write, as they have adopted SQL and relational databases have added horizontal scalability and JSON support.
“Another wave of developers will claim that SQL and the RM are insufficient for emerging application domains,” they write. “People will then propose new query languages and data models to overcome these problems. There is tremendous value in exploring new ideas and concepts for DBMSs (it is where we get new features for SQL). The database research community and marketplace are more robust because of it. However, we do not expect these new data models to supplant the RM.”
