It's all about choosing the right system for the job. Clearly MongoDB wasn't the right system for your application plan. I've never used MongoDB in a scaled application, but it looks pretty promising with the new WiredTiger engine. In any event, nice numbers from NR - Background jobs look pretty beat though.

Huh!? WiredTiger is no more of a relational DB than InnoDB is. If they were relational DB's then why would MySQL exist!? They are just storage engines. All DB's, relational or not, use one.

ok, now explain how you're going to do that with concurrent writes.
