- 34. 36 Trends in BigData& NOSQL 36 ๏ 1. increasing data size (big data) •“Every 2 days we create as much information as we did up to 2003” - Eric Schmidt ๏ 2. increasingly connected data (graph data) •for example, text documents to html ๏ 3. semi-structured data •individualization of data, with common sub-set ๏ 4. architecture - a facade over multiple services •from monolithic to modular, distributed applications
- 35. 37 4 Categories ofNOSQL 37
- 36. 38 Key-Value Category ๏ “Dynamo:Amazon’sHighly Available Key-Value Store” (2007) ๏ Data model: •Global key-value mapping •Big scalable HashMap •Highly fault tolerant (typically) ๏ Examples: •Riak, Redis,Voldemort 38
- 37. 39 Key-Value: Pros &Cons ๏ Strengths •Simple data model •Great at scaling out horizontally •Scalable •Available ๏ Weaknesses: •Simplistic data model •Poor for complex data 39
- 38. 40 Column-Family Category ๏ Google’s“Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data” (2006) •Column-Family are essentially Big Table clones ๏ Data model: •A big table, with column families •Map-reduce for querying/processing ๏ Examples: •HBase, HyperTable, Cassandra 40
- 39. 41 Column-Family: Pros &Cons ๏ Strengths •Data model supports semi-structured data •Naturally indexed (columns) •Good at scaling out horizontally ๏ Weaknesses: •Unsuited for connected data 41
- 40. 42 Document Database Category ๏Data model •Collections of documents •A document is a key-value collection •Index-centric, lots of map-reduce ๏ Examples •CouchDB, MongoDB 42
- 41. 43 Document Database: Pros& Cons ๏ Strengths •Simple, powerful data model •Good scaling (especially if sharding supported) ๏ Weaknesses: •Unsuited for connected data •Query model limited to keys (and indexes) 43
- 42. 44 Graph Database Category ๏Data model: •Nodes & Relationships •Hypergraph, sometimes (edges with multiple endpoints) ๏ Examples: •Neo4j (of course), OrientDB, InfiniteGraph,AllegroGraph 44
- 43. 45 Graph Database: Pros& Cons ๏ Strengths •Powerful data model, as general as RDBMS •Fast, for connected data •Easy to query ๏ Weaknesses: •Requires conceptual shift ‣though graph-like thinking becomes addictive 45
