at this moment, there are connectors for memcached and redis, which are 
nosql servers. They don't implement DB interface (to be a replacement 
for db_mysql module, for example), but offer config file functions to 
interact with nosql servers.

Then, for doing authentication, simply load only auth module, query the 
db server via config functions and get the password in a variable and 
use pv_*_authenticate(...) functions to achieve user authentication:

http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/modules/auth.html#pv_www_authenticate

Of course, if you do the development of a new module to connect to such 
server, implementing the db api might be more convenient and then use 
auth_db module.

Btw, today it was announced availability in near future (see earlier 
messages on this list) of cassandra connector, I don't know if it 
implements db api or not, since it is not yet in the public repository.

Cheers,
Daniel
