1. Performance and Feature Comparison
on InfiniFlux, MySQL, MongoDB,
Splunk, and Elasticsearch
www.infiniflux.com

2. Feature - Query Language
2
Product Query Language
InfiniFlux Easy to process statistics as it supports standard SQL
MySQL Easy to process statistics as it supports standard SQL
Elasticsearch Require to enter conditional clauses of SQL queries in the REST API and JSON format
MongoDB Difficult to use it since it requires to enter conditional clauses in the “Find” method
Splunk Easy to process statistics as it supports search processing language (SPL)
Conclusion
Easy and efficient to process unstructured big data with Splunk or Elasticsearch, and
structured big data with Infiniflux which supports SQL.
For statistical processing, difficult to use Elasticsearch and MongoDB due to
complicated query.

3. Feature - Time Series Query
3
Product Time Series Query
InfiniFlux
Use “DURATION” clause and hidden column, “_ARRIVAL_TIME”.
Able to process high-speed query as input data are partitioned based on
input time.
MySQL Not supported
Elasticsearch Not supported
MongoDB Not supported
Splunk Possible to use “DURATION” clause for searching
For time series query, InfiniFlux and Splunk are easy and efficient to use.
In terms of search performance, InfiniFlux is the best for searching time series data.
Conclusion

4. Feature - Full Text Search
4
Product Full Text Search
InfiniFlux
Able to search by using “SEARCH” operator.
Able to search data at a high-speed by using the inverted index.
MySQL
Use “LIKE” operator.
It may not able to use index based on search patterns, and as a result, slow down in search
speed.
Elasticsearch Supported
MongoDB Supported
Splunk Supported
InfiniFlux is the only available DBMS for full text search at a high-speed against
structured data.
Conclusion

5. Feature - Extended Data Type
5
Product Extended Data Type
InfiniFlux Support IPv6 and IPv4 types, and operators (contains and contained)
MySQL Not supported
Elastic search Not supported
MongoDB Not supported
Splunk Support functions such as “cidrmatch”
Conclusion
InfiniFlux is the only available DBMS for supporting network data type and related
functions.
