Been wrestling with BigTable for a while now because of appengine. Everything works fine till you need to implement a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship (no joins in NoSQL dbs). Heh.
NoSQL is useful for massively distributed storage systems like Google's or AWS. I found the science in this document<http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable-osdi06.pdf>especially illuminating.
