DescriptionWide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTableA high performance, column-oriented RDBMS, specifically developed to harness the massive parallelism of modern CPU and GPU hardwareTime Series DBMS based on CassandraJavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDBIndustry 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.
