Position paper discusses the need for robust infrastructure features in NoSQL datastores, highlighting implications for data management.
The paper argues that as data managed by NoSQL datastores becomes more valuable, being fast, cheap, and scalable will no longer be sufficient. Relational databases owe their broad adoption to "boring" features besides transactional support: security, access control, auditability, entity-level recovery, high availability. As data becomes valuable, it eventually requires those virtues from its infrastructure. NoSQL datastores will need to develop industrial-strength capabilities not as afterthoughts but as integral properties of the system. This is an early written statement of the author's "boring" thesis, connecting doctoral work on transaction recovery to later work on sovereign AI infrastructure, where the same pattern recurs at a different scale and substrate.Position paper accepted to the 14th International Workshop on High Performance Transaction Systems (HPTS 2011), Asilomar, California, October 23–26, 2011.
