Discussion on: MongoDB (the company) is up HUGE after today's earnings call

I consider MongoDB to be a special case of a relational database. One that can be easily expressed as a hashmap (i.e. a single relation of key -> value). Because of this it is easier to set up as such (replica sets, sharding, blah blah).

I'm therefore curious, what kind of data is non-relational?
