Name

Apache Trafodion has been retired in 2021. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

A Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters

It was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Transactional SQL-on-Hadoop DBMS

Primary database model
