Name

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

Description

Embeddable document-store database library with JSON representation of queries (in MongoDB style)

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

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
