Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

Sharding

based on Cassandra

Sharding

none

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

none

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

selectable replication factor

based on Cassandra

Electable source-replica replication per shard. Support distributed global deployment with Multi-region table feature

none

Asynchronous replication with multi-master option
Configurable replication topology (full-mesh, chain, star)
Synchronous quorum replication (with Raft)

Multi-source replication
Source-replica replication

MapReduce

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

with Hadoop integration

Consistency concepts

Eventual Consistency

based on Cassandra
Immediate Consistency

Referential integrity

yes

Transaction concepts

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