Description

A distributed analytics engine for big data, providing a SQL interface and multi-dimensional analysis (OLAP) and leveraging the Hadoop stack

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

An embeddable, in-process, column-oriented SQL OLAP RDBMS

Data warehouse and analytics appliance part of IBM PureSystems

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