But the whippersnappers don’t care because they have different project needs in mind. They’re aiming at new targets. What is surprising is how different the NoSQL projects are turning out to be.

The recent news that MongoDB, Inc. secured $150 million of investment capital underscored the fact that open source data is no longer in its infancy.

By the end of 2009, there were several open source NoSQL projects, including the BigTable-inspired Hbase, the Dynamo-inspired Riak, and Cassandra, which applied ideas from both research papers.
