For example, Facebook which is the most popular social networking website recently announced their adoption of a NoSQL based graph data store for efficient storage of user data. In other words, NoSQL has already made its way into the enterprise. However, just like every other widely accepted technology, NoSQL has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. It is important for an enterprise to quantify the pros and cons of a particularly new database technology against the already existing solutions based on their custom requirements. For example, legacy enterprise applications may require extensive community support from their database vendors. Moreover, traditional relational database vendors such as Oracle have already established themselves for providing excellent support. On the other hand, NoSQL has been rapidly growing since the past few years and is consistently evolving in terms of big data handling, data warehousing and lesser complexity. Hence, there is a need to study the current market of data stores based on the most popular NoSQL data stores and how well they fair against the widely accepted traditional database systems. This requires a study of the commonly used NoSQL data stores.
