Review on BlazingDB by Brandon Gaines
Open Source Database With Excellent Scalability
BlazingDB is fast, scalable and easy to use. I like that it is open source and that it is easy to get started with. I dislike that the documentation is not as good as I would like. I would like to see more examples of how to use BlazingDB. I have used BlazingDB to solve a number of problems that I was having with other databases. I have been able to solve a number of problems by using BlazingDB. I have been able to solve problems with the speed of the database. I have been able to solve problems with the ability to scale.
Pros
- It scales well
- Has great support for different types.
- Easy access from multiple languages including Java/C#/.Net,
- Great data storage capabilities
- Supports multi threaded read operations which makes queries run faster than most traditional RDMBS's such SQL Server or Oracle (Oracle has recently added Threading)
Cons
- Documentation could be better
- Not always clear where errors occur
