[support] Databases

[Jamie Holly]

There's a module for MongoDB:

https://drupal.org/project/mongodb

And CHX has been working hard on Mongo for D8. Here's his sandbox:

https://drupal.org/sandbox/chx/1831048

Getting Drupal to run on No SQL really isn't all that bad. That big 
thing will be getting all the contributed modules out there to do their 
queries in a way that can easily be translated over to No SQL. You start 
throwing things like map reduce and aggregation into the mix, and that 
is enough to put off some module maintainers.
