Specialized Storage Paradigms

  1. BLOB store ex:(GG, S3)
  • stands for: Binary large object,
  • arbitrary pieces of unstructured data
  • video, images, other files.
  • access by file id.
  1. Time series Database (Influx DB, Prometheus)
  • optimized for storing and analyzing time-indexed data,
  • Popular for logging.
  • Graph DBS (Neo 4J)
  • data is stored in graphs which are related to each other by edges,
  • uses the Cypher querying language. × spatial DB (Pos-1615)
  1. Spatial DBs
  • used to store spatial data (coordinates)

  • spatial DBs tend to use Quad Trees for indices Quad tree (either 0 or 4 nodes)

    Quadtree Quadtree

  • the grid is split into four recursively this keeps going until you enter a leaf node with 0 children.
