Yeah, I know it was vague, but that is due to the fact that I'm still coming up to speed on the project and have yet to hear some of the details. Since I had heard that there has always been a requirement for ad-hoc queries against the Oracle DB for data-mining purpsoes, that was the b

By ad-hoc queries I mean exactly what you've described. The need to access data from multiple column families, typically addressed in RDBs with JOINs. I haven't really become familiar enough with MapReduce yet, so I'll have to delve deeper into that. I'm hoping that the de-

What do you mean by ad-hoc queries? Most NoSql databases do not support cross table joins, due to the distributed nature of NoSql databases. If we compare this to partitioned databases in the RDB world, cross partition joins is also more expensive than non-partitioned databases. you can do ad

I know that for NoSQL the idea is to figure out your queries beforehand and then plan your data architecture to support them. And this typically is accomplished with a denormalized database. So are ad-hoc queries more awkward or not feasible? Thanks. Les [CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY NOTICE
