The need to handle increasingly larger data volumes is one factor
driving the adoption of a new class of nonrelational “NoSQL”
databases. Advocates of NoSQL databases claim they can be used to
build systems that are more performant, scale better, and are easier
to program. NoSQL Distilled is a concise but thorough introduction
to this rapidly emerging technology. Pramod J. Sadalage and Martin
Fowler explain how NoSQL databases work and the ways that they may be
a superior alternative to a traditional RDBMS. The authors provide a
fast-paced guide to the concepts you need to know in order to evaluate
whether NoSQL databases are right for your needs and, if so, which
technologies you should explore further. The first part of the book
concentrates on core concepts, including schemaless data models,
aggregates, new distribution models, the CAP theorem, and map-reduce.
In the second part, the authors explore architectural and design
issues associated with implementing NoSQL. They also present realistic
use cases that demonstrate NoSQL databases at work and feature
representative examples using Riak, MongoDB, Cassandra, and Neo4j.
In addition, by drawing on Pramod Sadalage’s pioneering work, NoSQL
Distilled shows how to implement evolutionary design with schema
migration: an essential technique for applying NoSQL databases. The
book concludes by describing how NoSQL is ushering in a new age of
Polyglot Persistence, where multiple data-storage worlds coexist, and
architects can choose the technology best optimized for each type of
data access.
