Name

Description

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

GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.

Automatically scaling NoSQL Database as a Service (DBaaS) on the Google Cloud Platform

A distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engine

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Spatial DBMS

Document store

Graph DBMS

yes

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

no, but can be realized using table inheritance

depending on storage layer

Sharding

horizontal partitioning

none

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Source-replica replication

depending on storage layer

Multi-source replication using Paxos

none

MapReduce

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

using Google Cloud Dataflow

Consistency concepts

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system

Immediate Consistency

depending on storage layer

Immediate Consistency or Eventual Consistency depending on type of query and configuration

Strong Consistency is default for entity lookups and queries within an Entity Group (but can instead be made eventually consistent). Other queries are always eventual consistent.

Foreign keys

Referential integrity

yes

via ReferenceProperties or Ancestor paths

Transaction concepts

Support to ensure data integrity after non-atomic manipulations of data

ACID

Serializable Isolation within Transactions, Read Committed outside of Transactions

ACID

Isolation support depends on the API used

Concurrency

Support for concurrent manipulation of data

yes

Durability

Support for making data persistent

yes

optional: either by committing a write-ahead log (WAL) to the local persistent storage or by dumping the memory to a persistent storage

yes

in-memory storage is supported as well

In-memory capabilities

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

depending on storage layer

yes

User concepts

Access control

fine grained access rights according to SQL-standard

yes

depending on the DBMS used for storage

Access rights for users, groups and roles based on Google Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM)
