It's quite a week here! Craig Russell and I will be giving a talk about the NoSQL APIs for MySQL Cluster (mod_ndb, memcached, and ClusterJ) twice: first at Oracle Open World at 9:00 AM on Thursday morning, and then again at Silicon Valley Codecamp on Saturday afternoon. Tomas Ulin's keynote address yesterday morning unveiled some of the goodness in MySQL 5.6 and MySQL Cluster 7.2 (like Batch Key Access, the great optimizer feature from the ill-fated MySQL 6.0 tree).
And last night I dropped by Dave Neilsen's NoSQL Camp, where I saw Andy Twigg ask a very interesting question in a 5-minute lightning talk. Andy simply pointed out that with hard disk drives, random I/O is slow and capacity is cheap -- so of course it makes sense to denormalize your data (for instance, into a document database like MongoDB). But on solid state storage, random I/O is fast and capacity is expensive. Do you want to denormalize your data on an SSD? Maybe not.
