Amazon has acquired Blazegraph's domain and (probably) product. It is said that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph.GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.Hypertable has stopped its further development with March 2016 and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking.
