System Properties Comparison Apache Jena - TDB vs. InterSystems Caché vs. Microsoft Azure Data Explorer vs. SiriDB vs. Yaacomo

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Yaacomo seems to be discontinued 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 multi-model DBMS and application server

Fully managed big data interactive analytics platform

Open Source Time Series DBMS

OpenCL based in-memory RDBMS, designed for efficiently utilizing the hardware via parallel computing

Primary database model

RDF store

Key-value store
Object oriented DBMS
Relational DBMS

Relational DBMS

column oriented

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store

If a column is of type dynamic docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kusto/query/scalar-data-types/dynamic then it's possible to add arbitrary JSON documents in this cell
Event Store

this is the general usage pattern at Microsoft. Billing, Logs, Telemetry events are stored in ADX and the state of an individual entity is defined by the arg_max(timestamps)
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

support for complex search expressions docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kusto/query/parseoperator FTS, Geospatial docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kusto/query/geo-point-to-geohash-function distributed search -> ADX acts as a distributed search engine
Time Series DBMS
