MDSAPI: A solution for customers to access heterogeneous multiple datastore

Today, several big cloud service providers offering variety of computing services. To access required data, the customers need to search across different data stores. It is a time consuming process for accessing required data from heterogeneous shared multiple data stores. So the customer need a unique platform that supports access to heterogeneous multiple data stores. Development of such a platform will help the customers to access data from multiple data stores. It also helps the users by avoiding cumbersome task of remembering all complex queries for data retrieval. This work proposes a RE presentational State Transfer (REST) based API called Multiple Data Store API (MDSAPI) for data retrieval. This model builds on PaaS which helps the customer for querying variety of data from different multiple data stores with complex queries. A Virtual Platform (VP) is developed to support access to different data stores.
