DescriptionAn enterprise grade, high-performance RDBMSAll data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.Hawkular metrics is the metric storage of the Red Hat sponsored Hawkular monitoring system. It is based on Cassandra.Wide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTableScalable Time Series DBMS based on HBase
