Won't venture to tell you how old I am, but I wish it were 46 ....  

I did not know that Oracle had announced a version of NoSQL, but I have an application that could certainly benefit from it. At least to the point to where this is worth a good read to see if it's a fit....  

Thanks.

It is a fact that technology is changing, that new needs need new solutions and that no mater how we hate it, change happens. You need to be prepared to deal with change, or become irrelevant and less marketable. Frankly, if I were a hiring manager and you displayed that kind of attitude in an interview, I'd probably disqualify you on the spot.

It's not going to supplant the normal RDBMS, ever, but rather it typically serves as a landing spot for "Big Data" ... typically key paired data, that eventually finds it's way into a traditional RDBMS (Oracle of course!). I personally think that the typical "Big Data" infrastructure (Hadoop, DBFS, NoSQL, etc) is probably over used these days for a variety of reasons. I believe that in many cases the traditional database infrastructure could be used rather than a brand new "Big Data" infrastructure. However there are many business cases where this infrastructure is clearly needed and as unstructured, high volume and high velocity data becomes more and more prevalent in the data center, we will forced to deal with it.
