Redirect to new filter, map, reduce article?

The vast majority of "no SQL" databases that are actually described that way (as opposed to network databases, semantic web techs like triple stores, object-oriented databases and other ways of storing data) are using the "filter, map, reduce" paradigm. The current article on MapReduce inanely describes it as Google-specific with Riak and many other tools support similar functions.

Clarification

Are SQL based bigdata databases which are not relational also called NoSQL databases? Seems the article is confused between the storage method vs query method. 2405:6E00:2840:9D7C:1F7E:3863:7D8C:2650 (talk) 22:25, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why is dbase 2 that uses no SQL not a NoSQL database? How did SQL somehow become synonymous with relational rather than the method of querying? 103.232.162.28 (talk) 08:43, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
