DescriptionAll 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.A distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engineTimeSeries DBMS for AIoT and BigDataFully managed big data interactive analytics platform
