We have streaming replication where the slaves are used for data mining, storing currently about 100m objects and expected to grow in direction of 1-2b or more. While part of the data is stored in a classic RDBM model, there are "soft" properties, for which we are looking for "soft" and in the same time, if possible, searchable/indexable storage. So far I have mostly looked into hstore and JSON, but arrays are an interesting option, as well. The only conclusion which we have reached so far is that we should divorce the core storage from search optimization and from versioning.
