Distributed NoSQL databases attempt to provide scale, performance and low cost by supporting easy horizontal scaling on low cost commodity hardware, but their performance is hobbled by the fact that they sit above a software stack whose design dates back at least 20 years. Many organizations are developing new solutions at the storage stack level because of these significant limitations currently experienced. Serious work lower in the stack is making NoSQL solutions perform faster and more predictably.
This discussion is of interest to anyone currently using NoSQL datastores who is experiencing performance degradation and predictability issues and looking for solutions. It is also interesting for new-comers to understand some of the limitations to be considered when going for NoSQL stores.
