DescriptionEnterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache TrafodionNative high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDBA time series DBMS optimized for fast ingest and complex queries, based on PostgreSQLTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
