Name

IRONdb seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

A distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicity

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

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

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model
