DescriptionWide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTableA Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters infoIt was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2Industry 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.
