Comet – An Example of the New Key-Code Databases
Another NoSQL database.
The post summaries the goals of Comet, which is described as: … an extensible storage service that allows clients to inject snippets of code that control their data’s behavior inside the storage service.
One thing you will notice fairly quickly when reading Comet: An active distributed key-value store is that the authors were not trying to build a fully generalized solution.
They had specific requirements in mind to be met and if your needs fall outside those requirements, you need to look elsewhere.
Rather refreshing to find a project that expressly isn’t trying to replace MS Office or Facebook. 😉
That still leaves a lot of interesting and commercially successful work to be done.
