Inter‐Cloud architectures and application brokering: taxonomy and survey (2014, background): “In essence the NoSQL approach aims at balancing between consistency and partition tolerance following the result of the famous CAP theorem [32, 33], while NewSQL approaches keep to standard relational approaches but discourage or ban performing certain inefficient operations [31].”
