Evaluation of NoSQL Databases: MongoDB, Cassandra, HBase, Redis, Couchbase, OrientDB

Abstract

The explosion of the data quantities, which reflects the scaling of volumes, numbers, and types, has resulted in the development of new locations techniques and access to data. The final steps in this evolution have emerged new technologies: cloud computing and big data. The new requirements and the difficulties encountered in the management of data classified “big data” have emerged NoSQL and NewSQL systems. This paper develops a comparative study about the performance of six solutions NoSQL, employed by the important companies in the IT sector: MongoDB, Cassandra, HBase, Redis, Couchbase, and OrientDB. To compare the performance of these NoSQL systems, the authors will use a very powerful tool called YCSB: Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark. The contribution is to provide some answers to choose the appropriate NoSQL system for the type of data used and the type of processing performed on that data.
