We have chosen this NoSQL based solution over relational databases as it provides the scalability to have hierarchies which go beyond two levels and extensibility due to the schema-less behavior of NoSQL data storage. We will use a cache having an LRU based eviction policy for caching user feeds of active users. Optimization.

Users might already have the file cached. If website-a.com links to [link] , and a user goes from there to website-b.com who also links to [link] , then the user will already have that file in their cache. Penalty: Caching.
