DescriptionWide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTableRDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.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.SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environmentsA lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API
