NoSQL does not mean: No Schema
{
person: "derickr",
steps_made: {
"20140201": 10800,
"20140202": 712,
}
}
You can not do queries depending on date range
You can not find days with more than 10000 steps
It's the same idea as doing this in XML:
<steps>
<person>derickr</person>
<steps_made>
<20140201>10800</20140201>
<20140202>712</20140202>
</steps_made>
</steps>
Do *not* use values as key names
Split it up instead:
{
person: "derickr",
date: "20140201",
steps: 10800,
}
{
person: "derickr",
date: "20140202",
steps: 5906,
}
Make sure you can always document your key names
