Name

Description

Wide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTable

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

A Java embedded Key-Value Store which extends the Java Map interface

Designed to manage unstructured time-series data efficiently, providing unique features such as storing time-stamped blobs with labels, customizable data retention policies, and a straightforward FIFO quota system.

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)
