ZDNet
"The present profusion of NoSQL databases can’t last," says the CTO of Riak company Basho, who predicts a major shakeout of players over time.


MongoDB
If you haven’t yet got your head around the need for data compression in Mongo or how it works, this is a good primer.


Datanami
The Azure Data Lake is an HDFS-compatible data repository designed to store vast amounts (or ‘nearly infinite’ as Microsoft puts it) of data.


The Register
"Adam Goodman of Duo Security has found a vulnerability in the ‘vast majority’ of Oracle MySQL databases that allows SSL to be stripped, exposing sensitive data to man-in-the-middle attackers."


Niazi, Ismail, et al.
Leader election protocols are a fundamental building block for replicated distributed services. They ease the design of leader-based coordination protocols that tolerate failures.


EnterpriseDB
