One I wrote: http://www.rackspacecloud.com/blog/2009/11/09/nosql-ecosyste...

Another, that goes into even more detail (imo, too much for one article, but a good article all the same): http://www.vineetgupta.com/2010/01/nosql-databases-part-1-la...

Benchmarking systems w/ very different data models is difficult to impossible, which is why you don't see that in this kind of survey piece. You're best off by picking one segment and focusing on that. Yahoo did that with the ColumnFamily stores (cassandra, hbase, and one they wrote internally) here: http://www.brianfrankcooper.net/pubs/ycsb-v4.pdf (note that Cassandra 0.5 results are on page 16 and 17, not inline w/ the rest)



Maybe one way to do it would be to pick a problem, or several problems, and implement solutions in each one.

Hrm, maybe it's a book more than an article, although I don't think I'd buy it, given that it'd be out of date so soon.

The point being, as a casual observer of these things, I don't yet have a good feel at all for which ones might be good for what.
