I have recently done some work on a couple of EOAdaptor's, one of which is 
NoSQL based.

Some observations:

1. It's hard.
2. If you want it to be fast, it's hard.
3. If you want it to support the full compliment of EOF features including 
inheritance and flattened relationships it's hard.
4. If you want it to support db side sorting or uniqueness it's hard.
5. See point 1.

I don't want to discourage you, but writing an EOAdaptor with more than the 
most basic functionality is not a simple undertaking.

Having said that, I recommend you take a look at the JavaMemoryAdaptor in 
Wonder as a reference to get you started.
