System Properties Comparison Geode vs. IRONdb vs. Manticore Search vs. Spark SQL vs. SQLite

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

IRONdb seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

A distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicity

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

Spark SQL is a component on top of 'Spark Core' for structured data processing

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Primary database model

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

using the Manticore Columnar Library
