Abstract

In the past, relational databases were used in a large scope of applications due to their rich set of features, query capabilities and transaction management. However, they are not able to store and process big data effectively and are not very efficient to make transactions and join operations. Recently, emerge a new paradigm, NoSQL databases, to overcome some of these problems, which are more suitable for the usage in web environments. In this paper, we describe NoSQL databases, their characteristics and operational principles. The main focus of this paper is to compare and evaluate two of the most popular NoSQL databases: MongoDB and Cassandra.
