NoSQL Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Emerging World of Polyglot Persistence

A few days go I finished reading book NoSQL Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Emerging World of Polyglot Persistence.

The first part of the book concentrates on core concepts, including schemaless data models, aggregates, new distribution models, the CAP theorem, and map-reduce. In the second part, the authors explore architectural and design issues associated with implementing NoSQL. They also present realistic use cases that demonstrate NoSQL databases at work and feature representative examples using Riak, MongoDB, Cassandra, and Neo4j.
