It bridges the gap between SQL and NoSQL beautifully. It can be used as a key value store, provides horizontal scaling, and handles BLOBs/VARBINARY if you want to use it as a document store while at the same time providing better consistency and online backup functionality. It does all this without requiring the use of a SQL front end. However, if you do want a SQL frontend too, you can use MySQL as an interface to it. And let SQL do the parsing and optimizing and JOINing I really wonder why NDB Cluster doesn’t get more play in this NoSQL buzz. It bridges the gap between SQL and NoSQL beautifully.
