DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesdata warehouse software for querying and managing large distributed datasets, built on HadoopWidely used in-process key-value storeIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
