Name

Description

Multi-model database supporting relational and graph data models and built upon PostgreSQL

CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

Large scale data warehouse service with append-only tables

Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

no, but can be realized using table inheritance

horizontal partitioning (by key range)

all tables are translated to an ordered KV store and then broken down into 64MB ranges, which are then used as replicas in RAFT

Sharding

none

Sharding

based on Cassandra

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Source-replica replication

Multi-source replication using RAFT

Multi-source replication

selectable replication factor

based on Cassandra

MapReduce

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

yes

Durability

Support for making data persistent

yes

In-memory capabilities

Is there an option to define some or all structures to be held in-memory only.

yes

User concepts

Access control

fine grained access rights according to SQL-standard
