Mongo is a popular NoSQL solution. There are many pros and cons for using Mongo. It's a great choice when you want to get simple and rather fast persistent key-value storage with a nice JavaScript interface for querying stored data. We recommend you start with Mongo if you don't really need a strict SQL schema and your data volumes are estimated in terabytes. Mongo is amazingly simple compared to the whole Hadoop ecosystem; probably it's the right option to start exploring the denormalized NoSQL world.
Mongo is already installed and ready to use. Mongo installation is not described. We use Mongo version 3.0.
You will install the special Hunk app that integrates Mongo and Hunk.
