He works for Treasure Data. This post, while providing some information, is most likely a shill for their NoSQL platform.

If not, I genuinely hope the rest of the NoSQL crowd isn't so incredibly ignorant about what a RDBMS is capable of, nor posses such a strong aversion to what would be a very straightforward normalized schema.

You can say it's a bit of advertisement, but I won't call it a "shill". If I were doing that, I would have pretended that I magically stumbled on Treasure Data.

Honestly, for data of this scale, I could have totally used any RDBMS. Scale really would have not been an issue. But I do like the schema-flexibility that Treasure Data provides.

Then again, I could have used MongoDB (and this point is clearly indicated in the post).
