Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

Sharding (enterprise version only). P2P based virtual network overlay with consistent hashing and chord algorithm

none

Sharding, partitioned with virtual buckets by user defined affinity key. Live resharding for scale up and scale down without maintenance downtime.

none

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

selectable replication factor, Knob for CAP (enterprise version only)

none

Asynchronous replication with multi-master option
Configurable replication topology (full-mesh, chain, star)
Synchronous quorum replication (with Raft)

Source-replica replication

MapReduce

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

Consistency concepts

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system

Tunable consistency, set CAP knob accordingly

Casual consistency across sharding partitions
Eventual consistency within replicaset partition

when using asyncronous replication
Immediate Consistency within single instance
Sequential consistency including linearizable read within replicaset partition

when using Raft

Foreign keys

Referential integrity

typically not needed, however similar functionality with collection joins possible

yes

Transaction concepts

Support to ensure data integrity after non-atomic manipulations of data

ACID

ACID, with serializable isolation and linearizable read (within partition); Configurable MVCC (within partition); No cross-shard distributed transactions

ACID

configurable

Concurrency

Support for concurrent manipulation of data

yes, optimistic concurrency control

yes

Read/Write Locking

yes

via file-system locks

yes, cooperative multitasking

yes

Durability

Support for making data persistent

yes, implements WAL (Write ahead log) as well

yes

yes, write ahead logging

yes

In-memory capabilities

Is there an option to define some or all structures to be held in-memory only.

yes, run db with in-memory only mode

yes

yes, full featured in-memory storage engine with persistence

User concepts

Access control

yes (enterprise version only)

Access Control Lists
Mutual TLS authentication for Tarantol Enterprise
Password based authentication
Role-based access control (RBAC) and LDAP for Tarantol Enterprise
Users and Roles
