It's official: we've shipped Oracle NoSQL Database R2.

Of course there's a press release, but if you want to cut to the chase, the major features this release brings are:

Berkeley DB Java Edition 5.x has significant performance improvements. One user noted that they are seeing a 20x improvement in cleaner performance.

Here's an Oracle NoSQL Database customer success story for Passoker, an online betting house.

There are a lot of great points made in the Solutions section, but as a developer the one I like the most is this one:

• Eliminated daily maintenance related to single-node points-of-failure by
  moving to Oracle NoSQL Database, which is designed to be resilient and
  hands-off, thus minimizing IT support costs

We ran a set of YCSB performance tests on Oracle NoSQL Database using SSD cards and Intel Xeon
E5-2690 CPUs with the goal of achieving 1M mixed ops/sec on a 95% read / 5% update workload. We used the standard YCSB parameters: 13 byte keys and 1KB data size (1,102 bytes after serialization). The maximum database size was 2 billion records, or approximately 2 TB of data.
