DescriptionDistributed Database based on LuceneRiak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KVIndustry 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.A high performance, scalable Wide Column DBMSTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
