Introduction to Open Source Column Stores. You may have heard that there are performance benefits to using a column store instead of a row store.
Column stores have become popular in closed source databases but they have recently become available in open source projects as well. This talk will introduce the concept of column stores and contrast them with traditional row stores. It will then introduce a set of open source column store databases. The available features of each of the databases will be compared and contrasted. Finally the performance of loading a star schema and executing some mildly complex queries will be compared for each database, and the results will be compared with XtraDB, a row store.
The following open source products will be demonstrated and compared: Infobright Community Edition (A MySQL column store)LucidDBMonetDBXtraDB (A MySQL row store) WHEN: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 PRESENTER: Justin Swanhart, Senior MySQL Instructor Slides: Download Here. Enterprise. Voldemort. Voldemort is a distributed key-value storage system Data is automatically replicated over multiple servers.
Data is automatically partitioned so each server contains only a subset of the total data Provides tunable consistency (strict quorum or eventual consistency) Server failure is handled transparently Pluggable Storage Engines -- BDB-JE, MySQL, Read-Only Pluggable serialization -- Protocol Buffers, Thrift, Avro and Java Serialization Data items are versioned to maximize data integrity in failure scenarios without compromising availability of the system Each node is independent of other nodes with no central point of failure or coordination Good single node performance: you can expect 10-20k operations per second depending on the machines, the network, the disk system, and the data replication factor Support for pluggable data placement strategies to support things like distribution across data centers that are geographically far apart.
Comparison to relational databases.
Shark: Real-time queries and analytics for big data. Hadoop’s strength is in batch processing, MapReduce isn’t particularly suited for interactive/adhoc queries.
Real-time1 SQL queries (on Hadoop data) are usually performed using custom connectors to MPP databases. In practice this means having connectors between separate Hadoop and database clusters. Over the last few months a number of systems that provide fast SQL access within Hadoop clusters have garnered attention. Connectors between Hadoop and fast MPP database clusters are not going away, but there is growing interest in moving many interactive SQL tasks into systems that coexist on the same cluster with Hadoop.
Having a Hadoop cluster support fast/interactive SQL queries dates back a few years to HadoopDB, an open source project out of Yale. Open-source systems The rest of this post covers two relatively new open source tools: Impala and Shark. The creators of Shark just released a paper where they systematically compare its performance against Hive, Hadoop, and MPP databases.

Fast. Reliable.Choose any three. An SQLite database is normally stored in a single ordinary disk file. However, in certain circumstances, the database might be stored in memory. The most common way to force an SQLite database to exist purely in memory is to open the database using the special filename ":memory:". Rc = sqlite3_open(":memory:", &db); When this is done, no disk file is opened.
The special filename ":memory:" can be used anywhere that a database filename is permitted. ATTACH DATABASE ':memory:' AS aux1; Note that in order for the special ":memory:" name to apply and to create a pure in-memory database, there must be no additional text in the filename. The special ":memory:" filename also works when using URI filenames. Rc = sqlite3_open("file::memory:", &db); Or, ATTACH DATABASE 'file::memory:' AS aux1; Fastest Open Source Main Memory Database and Cache. Main Memory Object-Relational Database Management System.

Well, please first answer for some questions. Is the size of your database larger than 100Mb ? Supported platforms If you port FastDB to some other platform, please inform me.
