Choosing the right NoSQL database for the job: a quality attribute evaluation

Abstract

For over forty years, relational databases have been the leading model for data storage, retrieval and management. However, due to increasing needs for scalability and performance, alternative systems have emerged, namely NoSQL technology. The rising interest in NoSQL technology, as well as the growth in the number of use case scenarios, over the last few years resulted in an increasing number of evaluations and comparisons among competing NoSQL technologies. While most research work mostly focuses on performance evaluation using standard benchmarks, it is important to notice that the architecture of real world systems is not only driven by performance requirements, but has to comprehensively include many other quality attribute requirements. Software quality attributes form the basis from which software engineers and architects develop software and make design decisions. Yet, there has been no quality attribute focused survey or classification of NoSQL databases where databases are compared with regards to their suitability for quality attributes common on the design of enterprise systems. To fill this gap, and aid software engineers and architects, in this article, we survey and create a concise and up-to-date comparison of NoSQL engines, identifying their most beneficial use case scenarios from the software engineer point of view and the quality attributes that each of them is most suited to.

Feasibility analysis of AsterixDB and Spark streaming with Cassandra for stream-based processing

“…(c) Different technologies have been developed for stream processing of data [32]. Technology selection for a business case may require extensive evaluation, before an optimal decision can be made [56,57]. This study aims to facilitate decision making process of technology selection by providing new information regarding feasibility.…”

Perbandingan Kemampuan Database NoSQL dan SQL dalam Kasus ERP Retail

“…Dalam kinerja dan eksekusi berbagai jenis operasi, database NoSQL terbagi menjadi dua kategori. Yaitu read dan write yang dioptimasi [5]. Performa yang lebih cepat dikarenakan NoSQL database saat melakukan penyimpanan data tidak memerlukan pengecakan struktur data maupun primary key dan foreign key.…”

“…Sistem ini bergantung pada skalabilitas horizontal dan "elastis", dengan menambahkan lebih banyak node ke sistem daripada mengupgrade perangkat keras. Istilah "elastis" mengacu pada elastisitas, yang merupakan karakterisasi dari cara cluster bereaksi terhadap penambahan atau penghilangan node [5].…”

“…simple hash tables) and graph databases (which are ideal for situations that are modeled as graph problems). Considering the last presented fact a comparison is presented at (Lourenço et al, 2015), where several DBMS are classified in a 5-point scale (Great, good, average, mediocre and bad) regarding a set of quality attributes.…”
