Traditional Database systems have been designed to satisfy OLTP (online transaction processing), workloads characterized by ad hoc queries, significant write traffic, and the need for strong transactional and integrity guarantees. In contrast, the solutions described here are almost all Data Warehousing - intensive and streaming applications do not even take advantage of persistent data. Few of these applications require transactional features, and there is little inherently relationality about the data being accessed. Thus, the data management question becomes how best to satisfy the needs of these different types of solutions.
