Mongo earnings report.

I think Mongo just answered the debate.

Long thread on Mongo going back about 5 days or so. The latter 1/3 or so is talking about current issues and then earnings, and basically, yeah, as Saul said the debate seems to be over.

I might actually get up and do something port wise tomorrow and thereafter likely lose my shirt. What you gonna do.

Posted this on NPI but wanted to post here also.

Fred Wilson, a backer and investor in Mongo, has a post on his blog showing the results of the stack overflow developer survey.

Mongo was the most popular non-SQL database and was the most wanted database of them all.

As mentioned on NPI, it leaves me wondering how MongoDB’s success has an implication for Hortonworks’ success.

MongoDB and Hadoop intended use cases are different. In fact they end up being more complementary to each other. Mongo has a Hadoop connector, so has Cassandra and I assume all other important databases.

Hadoop is good for Map Reduce capability - batch processing of workloads on massive distributed datasets. More on Map Reduce:
https://www.ibm.com/analytics/hadoop/mapreduce

Hadoop is not a type of database, but rather a software ecosystem that allows for massively parallel computing. It is an enabler of databases, which can allow for data to be spread across thousands of servers with little reduction in performance.

Mongo has some native map reduce capability, but not of the scale of Hadoop. So for smaller datasets Mongo’s map reduce will suffice else you need a Hadoop connector.

It is safe to stay invested in both. Both Hadoop and Mongo will win at least for the next few years.
