I think the no-sql vs sql war have ended already. Most of us now know what they can or cannot do.

Nothing new or interesting in this article.

What about the guy that decided to learn about databases 5 minutes ago? He doesn’t know what they can or cannot do.

I think this article won't tell him though, and that is a problem.

This person thinks they are glorified caches, but they miss what they are good at, REALLY fast aggregation across many servers, that isn't a glorified cache, that is something else.

You would be suprised to find out that mongodb is still popular for the wrong reasons

[myrryr]

It is also popular for the right reasons too. Sometimes you want to aggregate large datasets incredibly fast.

Sometimes you want user defined queries which are easy to restrict to parts of a dataset by rules.

If you don't have a use case for something, it doesn't mean no one else does.

Which NoSQL store are you talking about regarding fast aggregations? I don’t think that’s a property of all NoSQL dbs.
