JavaZone 2010 - NOSQL with Java
NOSQL is a movement promoting alternatives to relational databases. The majority of NOSQL databases are pioneered by companies that have special requirements for huge amounts of data, where a relational database doesn't scale.
There is more to NOSQL databases than scaling. They are designed to work well in distributed environments like computing clouds, and this attracts smaller organisations and startups.
Developing an application backed by a NOSQL database is quite different from the more traditional ORM model that many Java developers have become accustomed to.
I will present 3 different kinds of NOSQL databases (Neo4J, MongoDB and Cassandra) and show you how to use them from Java.
