Next Generation Data Management
April 20, 2009
With the saber rattling between the Codd database crowd and some of the MapReduce believers, I came across a must read called “An Overview of Modern SQL-Free Databases” by Jedi here. I found the write up useful. Jedi mentioned a source or two that I had not examined. I downloaded the write up and printed out a hard copy to read whilst watching denizens of Harrod’s Creek shoot at squirrels.
The structure of the article is to provide a 100 to 150 word write up about:
- Tokyo products (Cabinet, Tyrant, Dystopia)
- Fixed length record databases (ah, a blast from the past) This Wikipedia article may be useful.
- Hash databases (a Google interest). More information is here.
- B+ Tree databases (Wikipedia information is here.)
- Table databases (Wikipedia information is here.)
- Lightcloud (Plurk open source here.)
- Redis – Supports sharding (a Google interest)
- Flare
- CouchDB and the Futon interface
- MongoDB
The comments to the article mention but do not provide much detail:
- Project Voldemort – Used by LinkedIn
- Cloudkit
