Abstract

The chapter explains how NoSQL databases work. Since different NoSQL databases are classified into four categories (key-value, column-family, document, and graph stores), three main features of NoSQL databases are chosen, and their practical implementation is explained using examples of one or two typical NoSQL databases from each NoSQL database category. The three chosen features are: distributed storage architecture that comprises the distributed, cluster-oriented, and horizontally scalable features; consistency model that refers to the CAP and BASE features; query execution that refers to the schemaless feature. These features are chosen because, through them, it is possible to describe most of the new and innovative approaches that NoSQL databases bring to the database world.
