I'd recommend sticking with relational databases since they all support JSON columns now. If you need horizontal scalability then there are many choices like CockroachDB, Yugabyte, TiDB, Vitesse, MemSQL, and others.

If still want a document-store then RavenDB is a great choice with proper clustering, full-text search, SQL-like querying, graph queries, etc. ArangoDB is also good choice.

I apologize, because I literally don't know, but have you used any of these solutions at the scale where there might be billions or trillions of rows in a table/collection? I'm currently using Mongo at that scale and would love to evaluate some alternatives.

If it helps for context, we have accepted that ad-hoc queries are not possible, and we have our own solution for searching.

TiDB has a similar case study: Queries over 1.3 Trillion Rows of Data Within Milliseconds of Response Time at Zhihu.com https://pingcap.com/success-stories/lesson-learned-from-quer...

The latest stats in the same case scenario (already-read posts) Zhihu is:

- 2.6 Trillion Rows

- 560TB data

- 200 TiKV instances

Very cool! Thanks, I will look into it.

We used MemSQL with 100s of billions of rows for years in production.

If you're working at that scale, it sounds like that's more of an OLAP use-case where MemSQL and other column-oriented databases would suit better than an OLTP document-store. Maybe you can share more details for better recommendations.
