Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Titan has been decommisioned after the takeover by Datastax. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking. A fork has been open-sourced as JanusGraph.

Description

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Widely used in-process key-value store

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

Titan is a Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters.
