And it can do all of this on inexpensive commodity i. Another benefit is that if one node fails, the others can pick up the workload, thus eliminating a single point of failure. Massive scale is impressive, but what is perhaps even more important is elasticity. Not all NoSQL databases are elastic. MarkLogic has a unique architecture that make it possible to quickly and easily add or remove nodes in a cluster so that the database stays in line with performance needs.
There is not any complex sharding of data or architectural workarounds—data is automatically rebalanced across a cluster when nodes are added or removed. This also makes administration much easier, making it possible for one DBA to manage for data and with fewer headaches.

But remember that we test joining to rows here. The scalability question was about the total table size. Your tests actually prove the time complexity increases as expected when scanning a btree index. Adding joins increases time complexity for each table. The data sample you are using is tiny.
Try comparing apples to apples here…create a NoSQL collection structured to contain all objects required from a join query on a single btree and then query both databases. Hi John, Yes, sure, querying multiple btree structures consecutively takes longer. It is linear with the number of tables, not the size of the data sets.
Can be when moving from the logical data model to the physical data model denormalization. One pillar of the relational model is physical data independence. The storage representation can pre-build joins. Please read the comments above. However, the height of the tree depends on the size of the table, so the cost depends on the size of the table.
Hi Gabor, yes, exactly. The height of the index can increase but is rarely high. But on very large table, keeping the height low requires partitioning and local indexes. Best of both worlds? And SQL query language is the best way to retrieve and manipulate the data. The underlying engineering will make sure the data is kept in multiple locations resilience and becomes Scalable to large volumes….
Interesting read, but the post has a fundamental misconception. Size of tables causing increased time complexity is not something either Alex DeBrie or I have ever said.
What both of us have said is that the time complexity of a join in SQL increases significantly as more tables are added to the statement. This is an absolute truth that cannot be disputed. Single table queries are more efficient than joins because all objects are stored on the same table and share the same indexes, so producing a set of related objects only requires a single index scan which is O log n complexity.
Table joins in SQL cannot match that performance. What this post demonstrates is the efficiency of B-tree scans as the size of a table scales. It does not disprove that time complexity of a join increases as more tables are included. Hi Rick, Thanks for the precision. For sure, joining 10 tables may take 10x more resources than joining 2 of them. But this factor will be the same when the tables grow and when more users query the database.
Yes, reducing the number of joins has always been an optimization required for some critical cases. Either when going from the logical data model to the physical one: denormalization, adding redundancy to avoid joins, with the drawback of maintaining them and ensuring consistency.
Anyway, this is not about NoSQL vs. The relational model separates the logical view which can be many tables from the physical storage where tables can be grouped on some dimension, and rows partitioned to multiple segments,…. The single-table DynamoDB design is a join actually, optimized by physical co-location, but it is one query getting all items from multiple business objects with one call.
And relational databases can do the same and also hash partition and local and global index. And that scales as well. Where DynamoDB is really good at, in my opinion, is in maintaining this pre-joined hierarchy even with high-rate of data ingestion. Thanks to the local indexing within the hash partitions and optimized storage.
I fixed the typo in your comment according to your second comment, and thanks for the feedback. There are many different terms and points of views in this area and those discussions are really helpful. Yes, very good point about size per user that increases. Thanks for that. Even worse when this is in technical doc. Because it can scale key-value access.

In which case you would still be doing a lot of joins in your application layer.
I don't know that this is true. Imagine you're LeanKit, or Fog Creek, and you run a kanban board as a service. Or a bug tracker, CMS, whatever. You have many customers, each of whom has no more than thousands of users and millions of items. There are many relationships between objects belonging to a given customer, but precisely zero relationships between objects belonging to different customers.
Shard using the customer identity as a key, and you have nicely spread-out data and the ability to do any query the application might need to, while still having a normalised schema. There are plenty of other application whose schemas have this property, or almost have it. In my company, we make financial applications, and a lot of the data has very similar siloed ownership structure.
The one thing you can't do is reporting queries across your customers. That doesn't seem like a killer, though - it's normal to farm that stuff out to an offline reporting database even in single-server environments. You do understand how MySQL et al are used in those cases right?
They are treated as dumb key value stores and sharded horizontally with joins done in the application layer. HBase or Cassandra. Like I said because the relational database doesn't scale horizontally you are forced to build a sharding layer into your application which introduces complexity into the application layer and limits your ability to use the relational features of the relational database. At that point you might as well just be using a key-value store that does the sharding for you and offers greater flexibility.
It's only a problem if your app needs cross-shard reporting. And things like Gearman can help you out with the application layer complexity of horizontal scaling. Interesting, that isn't transaction, it is just a workaround, and I don't think you can design your app like that which treat document as a transaction log.
And then using view to generate the real information. The usual thing, and I believe what was done with AdWords, was application-level sharding.
