Embeddable document-store database library with JSON representation of queries (in MongoDB style)

Large scale data warehouse service with append-only tables

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra

Primary database model

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

using the Manticore Columnar Library

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

horizontal partitioning (by key range)

all tables are translated to an ordered KV store and then broken down into 64MB ranges, which are then used as replicas in RAFT

none

Sharding

Partitioning is done manually, search queries against distributed index is supported

Sharding

based on Cassandra

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Multi-source replication using RAFT

none

Synchronous replication based on Galera library

selectable replication factor

based on Cassandra

MapReduce

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

Consistency concepts

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system

Immediate Consistency

Eventual Consistency

based on Cassandra
Immediate Consistency

based on Cassandra

Foreign keys

Referential integrity

yes

typically not needed, however similar functionality with collection joins possible

Transaction concepts

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

ACID

Since BigQuery is designed for querying data

yes

isolated transactions for atomic changes and binary logging for safe writes

Concurrency

Support for concurrent manipulation of data

yes

Read/Write Locking

yes

Durability

Support for making data persistent

yes

The original contents of fields are not stored in the Manticore index.

yes

In-memory capabilities

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

User concepts

Access control

Role-based access control

Access privileges (owner, writer, reader) on dataset, table or view level
