Titan has been decommisioned after the takeover by Datastax. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking. A fork has been open-sourced as JanusGraph.
DescriptionScalable in-memory time series database optimized for IoT and Big DataA high-performance vector database with neural network or semantic-based matchingIndustry 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.Titan is a Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters.A concept of libraries, allowing an application program to store and query key-value pairs in a file.
