Storing twitter data

Abstract

In the previous chapter, we covered data collection methodologies. Using these methods, one can quickly amass a large volume of Tweets, Tweeters, and network information. Managing even a moderately-sized dataset is cumbersome when storing data in a text-based archive, and this solution will not give the performance needed for a real-time application. In this chapter we present some common storage methodologies for Twitter data using NoSQL.
