I understand, Ravi,  we have our application layers well defined. The major
changes will be in database access layers and entities will be changed.
Schema will be modified to tune the efficiency of the data store chosen.

We have been using mongo as a cache for a long time now, but as its a
document store and since we have a crisp well defined schema we chose to go
with a columnar database.

Our data size has been growing very rapidly. Currently it is 200GB with
indexes, in couple of years it will grow up to approx 5 TB. And we may need
to run procedures to aggregate data and update tables.
