Mongo criticism follow-up

My previous re-post on MongoDB was published on http://planet.mysql.com, and received some righteous criticism: anonymous bashing is never good. Well, I think I know why the post I quoted is anonymous: noone would enjoy admitting their own failure, and oh boy, to learn everything that the author of the post has learned one needed to fail big deal.

I just would like to repeat why I found this worth repositng: there is virtually no good data about when and how MongoDB is *not* applicable -- and the data provided by the Mongo team themselves (check this out for example http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/How+does+concurrency+work) is very superficial.

I personally would be happy to erase this very link as soon as I get my hands on anything more accurate. NoSQL and Cloud is not about being right or wrong, better or worse: it's about new technologies, data structures, paradigms. And in my view the whole database field just stays more clean when people discuss algorithms, rather than trends.

In any case, my apologies to the Mongo team for this repost -- I know how it feels to be bashed after days & months of hard work. I remember "MySQL Gotchas" page, and I know that over time, MySQL fixed everything listed on this page.
