In the most general sense (master-master) yes, but in a more detailed sense... not really. Cassandra and Riak have a similar replication model -- the are deployed into a "ring" and the data in the ring distributed across some (or all) of th

Couldn't agree more about trolling the issue tracker of a project you plan on adopting. It does wonders as far as learning the ins and outs of a project and how the team works/what they prioritize. Also, +1 on the rest of what you said.

No argument here -- its a bit much, but I didn't realize it had been outed as a hoax and I thought there was value to that. Given over 1000 upvotes between the 3 stories here and over 1500 on reddit, it seemed worth passing around. But agai

Not for the lulz, but I think to metaphorically slap the entire community in the face and show us how fickle we can be with our emotions/decision making processes. I think it is a valid point... I wouldn't have made it the same way, but t

Thanks for the correction -- am still fuzzy on the details of Cassandra compared to HBase.

Oh I do mean that -- I don't think their time in existence effects the rate at which you move along the hype cycle, I think popularity and deployment does. I would say Mongo is the most popular NoSQL data store at the moment; whether it is

This is a brilliant marketing campaign for Treehouse -- "come use us and we'll get you a great job!" +50 on this launch guys.

To add validity to their new term "NewSQL" possibly? (I don't know, just guessing). To the "NewSQL" term, I don't really have a problem with it... from their "how it works" it sounds like they are genuinely doing something interesting and c

Thanks for the heads up (was looking for more real info and not the damnable 'beta signup' form) This sounds like SQL ontop of Cassandra (for a more or less mental-map if you are looking for one): Our distributed non-blocking atomic com

I don't intend this comment to be an insightful deconstruction of the NoSQL space and/or Mongo... but does anyone else notice that the level of energy around a project (positive or negative) usually indicates its progress along the hype-d

Ryan, it really shows. There is this shallow navigation depth to everything interesting; I don't have to hunt. Very clearly demarcated signs everywhere indicating where you can go and what you'll get. Topping all of that off is that the act

Feedback: Have no idea what Treehouse is, clicked the site, took 300ms to look at the 3 giant buttons. Clicked "web design" (the site looks very nice BTW) ... and started learning about web design. Watched the first video, hit the only butt

Ahh good catch, I forgot about Neo4j. I'd like to see some non-graph deployments on it and see how it performs. From what I've seen with social/networked data models it looks very compelling. Excited to see that DB get more and more tractio

Uhh, I didn't realize that was a "thing" with Cassandra, is there a bug # to track for any issues specifically or are you saying that it has a history of reporting "Okey Dokey!" to a PUT when in reality it just exploded and died? I've not m

Good question -- as far as new, mature NoSQL solutions on the scene, I just became aware of OrientDB which sort of baffles me with it's functionality. It looks like this amazingly functional blend of MySQL and NoSQL: http://www.orientechno

If you can model your data in redis data structures it is excellent. Keep in mind that there is no preferred mechanism for operating redis when data is larger than ram. There is vm and diskstore, both deprecated by antirez, and a focus on d

It isnt packaged and marketed as cleanly. It takes hunting and learning on your own to get good with couch, and map reduce is no where as easy to get started with as mongo queries (although the addition of unql may improve things next year)

They all have their warts. For every story like this, there are petabyte deployments of your favorite datastore that work fine. For every X sucks article, ther is Y is awesome. In the nosql world the only way to choose is around the problem

A lot of this is the result of the confusion in the community, there is the CouchDB Apache project, then the CouchBase work and their own "Single Server" releases that don't necessarily map 1:1 to the Apache versions. Then there is the Couc

I don't expect this comment to get read, it's likely buried under the 100+ already here, but here is my two cents on the subject... Chasing spammers with greater and greater automated systems inevitably starts catching real people in the ne
