Emmanuel,
Some initial thoughts:
* Section 1: replace NoSQL Front-End with NoSQL Back-end? :-)
* Why is this version 3.0? That's pretty arbitrary. ;) Hibernate core is in v. 4.0, Infinispan is 5.0... maybe this should be a 1.0? Or even 0.1?
* Page 5: Why do you need a @TableGenerator? Is this to demonstrate compatibility with Hibernate Core annotations? A table generator shouldn't be required, right?
* I believe the JTA exclusions are fixed in JBoss TS 4.15.0.Final. Will make the JTA bits look a lot less scary.
* Maybe highlight the lines in persistence.xml that are specific to OGM? I don't think DocBook will allow you to highlight a line in a code snippet or make it bold or something, but perhaps an XML comment before the relevant bits? Something to the effect of <!-- This is the only bit that is different from your usual persistence.xml -->
* Good diagrams! Looking at the storage format diagrammatically, it seems as though what we store is a combination of actual data and indexes (in the conceptual sense) as well. I.e., you have the ability to look up relationships directly, without doing a "table scan". Nice. So the drawback (duplicates data) isn't really a drawback: an RDBMS would do this too, except it would call it an index. :)
* What are the implications of this 'soft schema' approach?
Cheers
Manik
