Here's the new product: Oracle NoSQL. Gory tech details and downloadable open source community edition are here. I see no indication geospatial is supported natively.
The consensus of smart people (who know more about this than I) suggest Oracle's entry into the space is validation of the technology (including Mike Loukides at O'Reilly).

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has said that the company’s database strategy is to take new technologies and absorb them. Next up: Big data and NoSQL.
That from Larry Dignan at C|net who cites the event program to note a Hadoop loader and a NoSQL database (I did an intro at DM).
What are the implications for geospatial? We may find out next week.
