DescriptionDistributed Database based on LuceneNatively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clusteringIndustry 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.Key-Value Store with special method for indexing infooptimized for high performance using a special indexing methodTimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase
