- henning 17y agoWith only a hint as to what this Pregel thing is about, my guess would be that Neo4J and CODASYL are focused on persistence/storage whereas Pregel is meant for high-performance OLAP stuff. Storage issues like replication are probably less of a concern. Notice that they're submitting the paper to a distributed computing conference and not a database conference. Ultimately I doubt anyone but the Googles of the world have a need for this kind of technology.
