I guess it depends what you consider "very large". If you're talking about multi-petabyte, then I'd probably use hdfs, but otherwise mongodb might fit. I hear craigslist uses mongodb to store their data since 1997, which is a fair amount of data I believe.

Uhm. The data goes back that far but the usage is far more recent than that.

1997, are you sure?

When he says "store their data since 1997" I believe he means "store data dating from 1997 on" - slight confusion in choice of wording!
