Over the years, NoSQL Database Management Systems (DBMS) have been adopted as an alternative to the constraints of relational/SQL DBMSs. In order to demonstrate their feasibility, works have evaluated NoSQL DBMSs regarding some performance metrics, but energy consumption has not been assessed. Indeed, energy consumption is an issue that should not be neglected due to the rise of energy costs and environmental sustainability. This paper presents a peformance and energy consumption evaluation of NoSQL DBMSs, more specifically, Cassandra (column), MongoDB (document-oriented), Redis (key-value). Experiments are based on YCSB benchmark, and results demonstrate energy consumption can vary significantly among the assessed DBMSs for different commands (e.g., read) and workloads.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
