Twitter serves up a tasty blend of both Sql and NoSql for maximum effect In a recent (youtube) talk, see link below twitter demonstrated the smart use of Sql (MySql) and no-sql ( Hadoop, Cassandra , Vertica) technologies. Twitters sql architecture is a distributed data storage framework built on top of MySQL (InnoDB). InnoDB was chosen because it doesn't corrupt data. There are some performance tweaks like disabling binary logs and replication.
