1. HBase: This model is used to provide random access to a large amount of structured data. It builds on the top of the Hadoop file system and is column-oriented in nature. It is used to store the data in HDFS. It is an open-source database that provides data replication.
Advantages:
- High availability because of no SPoF (Single Point of Failure)
- Scalability
- Operational Simplicity
- Add-on applications like Apache Phoenix enables a SQL interface
Application Areas:
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- fraud detection applications
- product catalogs and playlists
- messaging applications
- web applications
Users:
- Apple
- Bloomberg
- Airtel
- Thomson Reuters, and more.
2. MongoDB: MongoDB is document-oriented and does not need the row and column format of data. It gives high performance and is dynamic in nature where we don’t need to predefine a schema like in conventional RDBMS. MongoDB stores data in JSON format which allows you to send the data in any form you want. It is a cross-platform database that works with almost every platform like Windows, Linux, etc.
Advantages:
- Consistent Interface for whole development that simplifies the development
- Multi-cloud Infrastructure
- Managed for operational simplicity
Application Areas:
- Internet of Things and Time Series
- eCommerce and Payment Processing
- Analytic and AI
- Gaming
- Mainframe Offload
Users:
- Amadeus
- AstraZeneca
- Bosch
- Cisco
- CERN
- Forbes
- Verizon Wireless
