System Properties Comparison DataFS vs. Hypertable vs. mSQL vs. NebulaGraph vs. XTDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Hypertable has stopped its further development with March 2016 and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

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.

An open source BigTable implementation based on distributed file systems such as Hadoop

mSQL (Mini SQL) is a simple and lightweight RDBMS

A distributed, linear scalable, high perfomant Graph DBMS

A general purpose database with bitemporal SQL and Datalog and graph queries

Primary database model

Secondary database models
