DescriptionA Wide Column Store for rapid development using massive semi-structured datasetsIndustry 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.An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storageA lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API
