问题
I would like to store millions of images using a distributed fault tolerant system. While storing images in relational database has never been recommended, I was wondering if it is a suitable approach to store and manage image files in NoSQL databases.
I would appreciate if you could share your experience in details here. (i.e. what NoSQL database did you use? it's advantages and disadvantages in this case, etc)
Thanks

MongoDB has an API called GridFS which was made for storing binary files on the database cluster.
But just as with relational databases, storing files in a filesystem on a SAN is often a faster, more efficient, more maintainable and safer alternative.
