Thank you for your response. I certainly understand this. My question is in your "almost". My interest is in a seemless transition/simulteaneousity between the current user/admin experience and a NoSQL approach. This is why I am interested in knowing if some efforts have been engaged in that area or if I should start from scratch a top-down evaluation.

I have been working on a storage API with the intention of supporting distributed backends (Cassandra initially). Our primary focus is revision storage for now, but if that works well I don't see a reason why it can't be expanded to other use cases as well. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:GWicke/Notes/Storage.

I am more interested in storage abstraction than NoSQL per se. The goal is to have a narrow storage interface and a choice of backends including NoSQL.

I understand. This may be of quite an interest to me as I am mostly interested at this page in what I could call container centric networking. The focus would be on "intelligent pages" (intellipage) storage and access. I am not a very active developper (I have to reactivate my PHP :-)). My plan is to hold a workshop at RMLL 2014 (https://2014.rmll.info/?lang=en) on a network architectural evolution based on an intellipages centric networking metaphor.

I am going to study you site. I will come back to you privately. Thank you for your help. jfc
