RDBMS:

MongoDB:
- data modeling tree structure etc
- 海量存储,文档数据库
Cassandra:
- There are a number of reasons to choose Cassandra for your website. Compared to other databases, three big features stand out:Flexible schema: with Cassandra, like a document store, you don’t have to decide what fields you need in your records ahead of time. You can add and remove arbitrary fields on the fly. This is an incredible productivity boost, especially in large deployments.True scalability: Cassandra scales horizontally in the purest sense. To add more capacity to a cluster, turn on another machine. You don’t have restart any processes, change your application queries, or manually relocate any data.Multi-datacenter awareness: you can adjust your node layout to ensure that if one datacenter burns in a fire, an alternative datacenter will have at least one full copy of every record.
Redis:
- Key-Value pair
- 高并发读写
