"For data warehousing, I think that the relational / OLAP world has significant advantages, mostly because in many BI scenarios, you want to allow the users to explore the data, which is easy with the SQL toolset, and harder with NoSQL solutions. But when you get too large (and large in OLAP scenarios is really large), you might want to consider limiting the users’ options and going with a NoSQL solution tailor to what they need."
