The data community sometimes appears obsessed with overthrowing decades of practice, casting relational database solutions aside in favor of newer NoSQL offerings such as Neo4J, Hbase and CouchDB. NoSQL tools are undeniably powerful, and they are being used to great effect in deriving insight from massive streams of data. But relational database technologies still have a valid role to play, and NewSQL products are coming to market that marry the familiarity of relational database querying – SQL – with the scalability and performance of NoSQL.
