Name

Hypertable has stopped its further development with March 2016 and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

All 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.

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

A fast-speed and highly-scalable Graph DBMS

An open source BigTable implementation based on distributed file systems such as Hadoop

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Object oriented DBMS

Graph DBMS
