The NewSQL Movement: "We talk often about various types of NoSQL databases - document stores like Apache CouchDB, graph databases like Neo4j and BigTable clones like Hbase. But we also occasionally talk about various attempts to improve the tried and true relational database model - projects like Drizzle (coverage), HandlerSocket (coverage), RethinkDB (coverage), TokuTek (coverage) and VoltDB (coverage).
The 451 Group dubs these "NewSQL" databases. In a blog post, 451 analyst Matthew Aslett explores this burgeoning category of database and adds several to our growing list of projects."
