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 hardwareMulti-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value)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.
