I agree with that, but you know, it's very hard to find good examples. :) I'm open to better suggestions :)

Some points on Cassandra: - Facebook designed it for inbox feature - - SOLR/Lucene is being integrated - recently Sequoia backed Riptano - see http://www.riptano.com/

But facebook recently dumped it for inbox feature and began using Hbase instead. Not sure if Sequoia backing Riptano is supposed to be a bug or a feature?

I like this article: while it is for sure not the definitive guide to NoSQL, it is a short description mostly about facts that people new to the field can use to get an idea about what a good candidate could be for initial experimentation, given a defined problem to solve. That said I think that picking the good database is something you can do only with a lot of work. Picking good technologies for your project is ha…

This sounds like the approach taken by Membase (www.membase.org). And it is an incredibly powerful system. Not a bad model to follow.

Thank's for the article, good information.

Does anyone have any user amounts about the different no-sql databases? Or just say two most popular ones? I guess some of them will rise above the other's in following years and some will drop. User amounts would indicate which ones have most potential to stay around and be accepted as standard no-sql databases.
