How hard is it to migrate existing systems to MongoDB. How realistic is it to have a hybrid situation with both SQL and No-SQL or is it recommended not to mix and match?

I'm a younger developer and have taken over the role of managing a 10 year old product as a full stack developer. After finally convincing management to move off of ColdFusion 9 my next target is updating the database.

It an old system designed as a psuedo Entity Attribute Value system. Admittedly over the years standards have been ignored or overlooked and there a quite a few eav hacks. NoSQL seems like a much better solution, especially considering customers desires for more searchable data.

How hard is a migration like this are hybrid systems common/recommended and are there resources to help with this?
