Are we really that scared of 'research'?
- yangyang 12y agoI get the feeling that a sizeable proportion of NoSQL users don't have much knowledge of relational databases at all, never mind replication. If you just want to persist some JSON data you already have, I suppose it is quite a large leap to start reading about relational algebra, ACID, undo/redo logs, SQL, and so on.
- craigching 12y ago> Are we really that scared of 'research'? You've missed the main point of why we use MongoDB. We use it embedded in our product and it's up to our customers to configure HA if they need it. Sure, we document the process for configuring it, but the simpler it is, the less likely a customer is going to have a problem with it. I would agree with you if it were a database that we maintained in-house, yeah, it's certainly doable. But my main point is that this has to be done in the field at customers who are just trying to use our product.
