Schemaless data modeling with Bigtable and Groovy
NoSQL datastores like Bigtable and CouchDB are becoming more and more hip these days because they solve the problem of scalability on a massive scale. Google, Twitter, Digg and Facebook are just a few of the big names that have adopted NoSQL, and we’re in early days yet. Schemaless datastores, however, are fundamentally different from traditional relational databases. Leveraging them is easier than you might think, especially if you start with a domain model, rather than a relational one.
Check out IBM DeveloperWorks‘ “Schemaless data modeling with Bigtable and Groovy’s Gaelyk” and see for yourself how refreshing schemaless datastore modeling combined with the power of Groovy really is!
