DescriptionEnterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache TrafodionWide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTableScalable Time Series DBMS based on HBaseRDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
