About book NoSQL Distilled: A Brief Guide To The Emerging World Of Polyglot Persistence (2012)
Good for what it is-- a slim high level overview of NoSQL that gives you historical context and discusses key concepts like CAP theorem, distribution strategies (sharding, master/slave replication, peer to peer replication) and store types (key value, column family, document-based, graph). But, there's not much "there" there. It's all fairly abstract and intentionally doesn't get into the nitty gritty of real life use cases. I would've liked to have seen real life case studies though. You're not going to come away from this book really knowing whether or not you should use Riak, Cassandra, MongoDB or whatever for your own project(s). If you need a "Solid" foundation on NoSQL world, I do recommend to start with this book.Without going to much deep in each technology, it technically describes four major Pattern in NoSQL world (Key/Vale - Document - Graph - Column) in a perfect manner.Once you finish this book, you'll have a concrete understanding about how to mix or design your platform to excel the best of Relational and non-relational database design patterns.
