DescriptionRDF4J 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.Open-Source SQL RDBMS for Operational and Analytical use cases with native Machine Learning, powered by Hadoop and SparkAn embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storageA fast, cost-effective and scalable Time Series DBMS and monitoring solution
