Since NoSQL is a kind of catch-all term for any kind of data store that isn't a 
RDBMS, it may be hard to generalize.
If you look at some of the more popular present-day NoSQL solutions, many of 
them seem to aim at prioritizing Availability and Partition Tolerance over 
Consistency (from the CAP theorem [1]).

For the CAS ticket store, this doesn't seem to be a terrible idea.  You need to 
be able to store tickets associated with an identity.  CAS basically needs a 
key-value store in this regard.  The characteristics of that store will likely 
need to be dictated in part by the environment in which a particular CAS 
operates.

Subject: Re: [cas-user] no sql database support for storing ticket session

I am curious, what would be the reason you'd choose a "no sql" database to
store tickets?

Regards,

Stephan
