The Research Importance and Possible Problem Domains for NoSQL Databases in Big Data Analysis

The days are gone where we depend on traditional database techniques to solve the contemporary database problems. With the evolution of unstructured and semi-structured data forms and due to the frequent gathering of voluminous data from time to time, new techniques to store, process and manage data are becoming most crucial nowadays. NoSQL forms are emerging as the basic source for researchers to invent new database techniques, which can be applied in addition to the conventional techniques in order to solve the existing real-time database problems today. Occasionally, NoSQL can also be termed as Not Only SQL. It is a modern approach to handle data without organizing the source data in the form of tables and sidesteps the use of SQL. In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of NoSQL forms are discussed. The possible research directions in NoSQL domain are outlined to facilitate NoSQL research from the big data perspective.
