OrientDB: A new Open Source NoSQL DBMS

I came across OrientDB a week ago, while looking for a Document DBMS that could be embedded in a client side application. Sadly haven't had time to fully check it out yet, but it looked the most promising of the options out there.

The Java/Hibernate pattern seems to be common for java applications, but there's doesn't seem to be (as far as I can see) for a document/object based alternative. I'm currently working with an object graph that translates very poorly to a relational DB, does anyone have any experience with any non-relational alternatives?

There are a ton of JSON stringifications libs for Java, some of which can handle complex object graphs (circular dependencies, etc.). Have a look at Google GSON. Once you can turn your jobs into JSON strings and vice versa, persisting them in a document store should be trivial.

But actually getting a document store on the client? A lightweight document store that supports complex object graphs?
