Oracle has been doing NoSQL since before NoSQL was cool.
They've had BerkeleyDB since 2006. The real issue is not technology so much as economics. The heart of the matter is that no startup is going to shell out what Oracle wants for licensing/support contracts.

Yes, the big question is whether it will be open source. I have no insight into that, waiting to see along with everyone else.
It's Oracle ... whatcha want exactly? It'll be big, and technically splendiforous and hideously expensive.
Curious to see what this demographic thinks. Will they have an impact in the market?
Kind of depends if this is simply an integration (e.g. a feed to/from Hadoop), another key-value store (OMG, not another), something like composite column types (ala PostgreSQL), a re-birth of Object DB Extensions (please not) or smarts structured data (e.g. better XML search). All of those feel like a band aid. Would love to see something truly innovative here.
I deal with passionate Oracle RDBMS users on a daily basis and (very good) technologies as BerkeleyDB and Coherence are nothing but esoteric toys they will hardly use anytime soon. So will be this NoSQL database that will probably be given away as open source.
