Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Current development platforms are web scale, unlike recent platforms which were just network scale. There has been a rapid evolution in computing paradigm that has created the need for data storage as agile and scalable as the applications they support. Relational databases with their joins and locks influence performance in web scale systems negatively. Thus, various types of non-relational databases have emerged in recent years, commonly referred to as NoSQL databases. To fulfill the gaps created by their relational counter-part, they trade consistency and security for performance and scalability. With NoSQL databases being adopted by an increasing number of organizations, …
