Apache Solr and Big Data – integration with MongoDB
In an enterprise, data is generated from all the software that is participating in day-to-day operations. This data has different formats, and bringing in this data for big-data processing requires a storage system that is flexible enough to accommodate a data with varying data models. A NoSQL database, by its design, is best suited for this kind of storage requirements. One of the primary objectives of NoSQL is horizontal scaling, that is, the P in CAP theorem, but this works at the cost of sacrificing Consistency or Availability.

What is NoSQL and how is it related to Big Data?
As we have seen, data models for NoSQL differ completely from that of a relational database. With the flexible data model, it becomes very easy for developers to quickly integrate with the NoSQL database, and bring in large sized data from different data sources. This makes...
