Name

Description

Open-source analytics data store designed for sub-second OLAP queries on high dimensionality and high cardinality data

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.

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

NewSQL database with distributed OLTP and SQL

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

Sharding

manual/auto, time-based

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

Partitioning is done manually, search queries against distributed index is supported

horizontal partitioning

Sharding

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

yes, via HDFS, S3 or other storage engines

Multi-source replication using RAFT

Synchronous replication based on Galera library

yes

Source-replica replication
