Wednesday, November 10, 2010 at 10:00AM | Derek Stainer We've written twice (here and here) about Adrian Cockcroft's NetFlix use case comparison posts. It seems that the folks, specifically Justin Sheehy of Basho, have responded to Adrian's questions.

Adrian Cockcroft, Basho, Justin Sheehy, Netflix, Riak Monday, November 8, 2010 at 8:00AM | Derek Stainer In our post on Friday we mentioned a series of posts by Adrian Cockcroft in which Cockcroft posed a use case and a series of questions related to the use case. Cockcroft asked NoSQL projects/vendors to respond on how their solution would answer his questions. So far he has responses for MongoDB and Cassandra. However, this post is focuses on a series of slides that Cockcroft posted a few days ago in which he illustrates his use case as well as the series of questions.
Adrian Cockcroft, Cassandra, MongoDB, Netflix Friday, November 5, 2010 at 8:00AM | Derek Stainer Adrian Cockcroft of NetFlix proposed in a post last week the following use case:
A TV based device calls the API to add a movie to its favorites list (like the Netflix instant queue, but I have simplified the concept here), then reads back the entire list to ensure it is showing the current state. The API does not use cookies, and the load balancer (Amazon Elastic Load Balancer) is round robin, so the second request goes to a different API server, that happens to be in a different Amazon Availability Zone, and needs to respond with the modified list.
