Databases store information about a system and provide a mechanism for data to be accessed and manipulated. While advancements in the 1970s provided a relational database model that has persisted to this day, web-scale era mass data needs surfacing in the 1990s and the early 2000s revealed limitations in the scalability of the relational model. As systems grew and transitioned into distributed architectures to support mass data storage and parallel processing, a complete overhaul of distributed computing technologies evolved that fundamentally departed from the relational data model in favor of the NoSQL data model. The course of this research details the scaling problems encountered by relational databases and the NoSQL solutions that made web-scale systems possible.
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Berlin (Wirtschaftsinformatik - Information Systems Engineering (ISE)), course: Seminar: Hot Topics in Information Systems Engineering, language: English, abstract: During the last years NoSQL databases have been developed to ad-dress the needs of tremendous performance, reliability and horizontal scalability. NoSQL time series databases (TSDBs) have risen to combine valuable NoSQL properties with characteristics of time series data encountering many use-cases. Solutions offer the efficient handling of data volume and frequency related to time series. Developers and decision makers struggle with the choice of a TSDB among a large variety of solutions. Up to now no comparison exists focusing on the specific features and qualities of those heterogeneous applications. This paper aims to deliver two frameworks for the comparison of TSDBs, firstly with a focus on features and secondly on quality. Furthermore, we apply and evaluate the frameworks on up to seven open-source TSDBs such as InfluxDB and OpenTSDB. We come to the result that the investigated TSDBs differ mainly in support- and extension related points. They share performance-enhancing techniques, time-related query capabilities and data schemas optimized for the handling of time-series data.

The fourth edition of this classic textbook provides major updates. This edition has completely new chapters on Big Data Platforms (distributed storage systems, MapReduce, Spark, data stream processing, graph analytics) and on NoSQL, NewSQL and polystore systems. It also includes an updated web data management chapter that includes RDF and semantic web discussion, an integrated database integration chapter focusing both on schema integration and querying over these systems. The peer-to-peer computing chapter has been updated with a discussion of blockchains. The chapters that describe classical distributed and parallel database technology have all been updated. The new edition covers the breadth and depth of the field from a modern viewpoint. Graduate students, as well as senior undergraduate students studying computer science and other related fields will use this book as a primary textbook. Researchers working in computer science will also find this textbook useful. This textbook has a companion web site that includes background information on relational database fundamentals, query processing, transaction management, and computer networks for those who might need this background. The web site also includes all the figures and presentation slides as well as solutions to exercises (restricted to instructors).
This book constitutes the thoroughly revised selected papers of the 4th and 5th workshops on Big Data Benchmarks, Performance Optimization, and Emerging Hardware, BPOE 4 and BPOE 5, held respectively in Salt Lake City, in March 2014, and in Hangzhou, in September 2014. The 16 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. Both workshops focus on architecture and system support for big data systems, such as benchmarking; workload characterization; performance optimization and evaluation; emerging hardware.
This book addresses issues related to managing data across a distributed database system. It is unique because it covers traditional database theory and current research, explaining the difficulties in providing a unified user interface and global data dictionary. The book gives implementers guidance on hiding discrepancies across systems and creating the illusion of a single repository for users. It also includes three sample frameworks—implemented using J2SE with JMS, J2EE, and Microsoft .Net—that readers can use to learn how to implement a distributed database management system. IT and development groups and computer sciences/software engineering graduates will find this guide invaluable.
The unprecedented scale at which data is both produced and consumed today has generated a large demand for scalable data management solutions facilitating fast access from all over the world. As one consequence, a plethora of non-relational, distributed NoSQL database systems have risen in recent years and today’s data management system landscape has thus become somewhat hard to overlook. As another consequence, complex polyglot designs and elaborate schemes for data distribution and delivery have become the norm for building applications that connect users and organizations across the globe – but choosing the right combination of systems for a given use case has become increasingly difficult as well. To help practitioners stay on top of that challenge, this book presents a comprehensive overview and classification of the current system landscape in cloud data management as well as a survey of the state-of-the-art approaches for efficient data distribution and delivery to end-user devices. The topics covered thus range from NoSQL storage systems and polyglot architectures (backend) over distributed transactions and Web caching (network) to data access and rendering performance in the client (end-user). By distinguishing popular data management systems by data model, consistency guarantees, and other dimensions of interest, this book provides an abstract framework for reasoning about the overall design space and the individual positions claimed by each of the systems therein. Building on this classification, this book further presents an application-driven decision guidance tool that breaks the process of choosing a set of viable system candidates for a given application scenario down into a straightforward decision tree.
