System Properties Comparison Apache Jena - TDB vs. GeoSpock vs. Redis vs. TinkerGraph vs. YottaDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

A RDF storage and query DBMS, shipped as an optional-use component of the Apache Jena framework

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API

A fast and solid embedded Key-value store

Primary database model

RDF store

Relational DBMS

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Graph DBMS

Key-value store

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

with RediSearch
Time Series DBMS
