Server-side scripts

Stored procedures

asynchronous Gremlin script jobs

yes

Lua, C and SQL stored procedures

Triggers

yes

by using the 'percolation' feature

Client-side triggers through changefeeds

yes, before/after data modification events, on replication events, client session events

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

yes

depending on used storage backend, e.g. Cassandra and HBase

Sharding

in enterprise version only

Sharding

range based

Sharding, partitioned with virtual buckets by user defined affinity key. Live resharding for scale up and scale down without maintenance downtime.

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

yes

depending on used storage backend, e.g. Cassandra and HBase

selectable replication factor

in enterprise version only

yes

Source-replica replication

Synchronous quorum replication (with Raft)

MapReduce

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

via hugegraph-spark

yes

Consistency concepts

Methods to ensure consistency in a distributed system

Eventual Consistency

Synchronous doc based replication. Get by ID may show delays up to 1 sec. Configurable write consistency: one, quorum, all

Immediate Consistency

Casual consistency across sharding partitions
Eventual consistency within replicaset partition

when using asyncronous replication
Immediate Consistency within single instance
Sequential consistency including linearizable read within replicaset partition

when using Raft

Referential integrity

yes

edges in graph

yes

Transaction concepts

Support to ensure data integrity after non-atomic manipulations of data

Support for concurrent manipulation of data

yes

MVCC based

yes, cooperative multitasking

Durability

Support for making data persistent

yes

yes, write ahead logging

In-memory capabilities

Is there an option to define some or all structures to be held in-memory only.

yes

Depending on used storage engine

yes, full featured in-memory storage engine with persistence

User concepts

Access control

Users, roles and permissions

simple rights management via user accounts

yes

users and table-level permissions

Access Control Lists
Mutual TLS authentication for Tarantol Enterprise
Password based authentication
Role-based access control (RBAC) and LDAP for Tarantol Enterprise
