Re: [xml-dev] What is the general direction you are seeing these daysto store and query lots of large complex XML?

<notRhetorical>What other games are there in town if a REST server is also part of the requirement?</notRhetorical>

I'd go with MarkLogic for that. If the large documents are segmentable. I've run upwards of 100 million XML document files comfortably on a three node cluster.

Querying 2.4PB (2400TB) of data is going to take a

The best way is probably not doing it, where possible - e.g. project a subset and query that.

MarkLogic is marketed as petabyte-scale,
but XML may not be the most optimal representation of the data, it is
worth considering the alternatives.
Luckily neither MarkLogic nor most other XML-native databases store XML; rather, they store an internal representation that can be mapped to the XPath and XQuery Data Model (the XDM).

A common mistake people make (I'm not saying you're making it, but people reading your post might jump to an incorrect conclusion) is thinking that XML databases store XML (e.g. store pointy brackets), which is a bit like thinking that relational databases operate on CSV files.

Distributed storage and query are probably the way forward,
Depending on the nature of the queries, that does seem likely.
