The key value store we ignored (Postgresql)
The main selling point of the various NoSQL products out there today isn't the schemaless storage, instead it's the ability to grow beyond a single server that's compelling.<p>228MB of data is nothing, it fits in RAM of any machine. What would the examples in this blog post look like if it was 228GB of data spread across 10 servers instead? How would you grow/shrink such a cluster? How would you perform a query that cuts across servers and aggregates data from some of them? How would you replicate data across multiple servers?
