System Properties Comparison Apache Jena - TDB vs. HEAVY.AI vs. Hypertable vs. Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics vs. Redis

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

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

Description

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

A high performance, column-oriented RDBMS, specifically developed to harness the massive parallelism of modern CPU and GPU hardware

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

Elastic, large scale data warehouse service leveraging the broad eco-system of SQL Server

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.

Primary database model

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

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

with RediSearch
Time Series DBMS

with RedisTimeSeries
Vector DBMS
