Q: OMG! Yet another ORM tool? Aren’t there many already?

A: There are quite a few ORM tools for NoSQL databases. Some of them only support a particular datastore while others may support more than one. Kundera currently supports Cassandra, HBase and MongoDB. Idea behind Kundera is to make working with NoSQL databases drop-dead simple and fun. It achieves this objective by:

• Following JPA 2.0 standard
• Leveraging existing libraries like Pelops, Solandra, MongoDB java driver etc., and builds – on top of them a wrap-around API. This helps developers do away with the unnecessary boiler plate codes, and program a neater, cleaner code that reduces code-complexity and improves quality...and above all, improves productivity.

Q: Why JPA?

A: JPA is very easy to use and most of the people coming from Java EE world are already familiar with it. Another benefit is - code that developers are required to write is the same irrespective of underlying datastore. So switching between datastores is as easy as changing settings in a configuration file.
