NoSQL Databases or Architectural Patternspdf

NoSQL databases are categorized into four types: Key-value pair, Column-oriented, Graph-based, and Document-oriented, each with unique attributes and limitations. Key-value pair databases store data as unique key/value pairs, while column-oriented databases optimize for aggregation queries. Document-oriented databases store data in document formats like JSON, and graph-based databases represent entities and their relationships as nodes and edges.

Types of NoSQL Databases / Architectural Patterns
NoSQL Databases are mainly categorized into four types: Key-value pair, Column-oriented,
Graph-based and Document-oriented. Every category has its unique attributes and limitations.
None of the above-specified database is better to solve all the problems. Users should select
the database based on their product needs. Types of NoSQL Databases:

• Key-value Pair Based


• Column-oriented Graph
• Graphs based
• Document-oriented

Key Value Pair Based


Data is stored in key/value pairs. It is designed in such a way to handle lots of
data and heavy load.

Key-value pair storage databases store data as a hash table where each key is
unique, and the value can be a JSON, BLOB(Binary Large Objects), string, etc.

It is one of the most basic NoSQL database example. This kind of NoSQL database is used as
a collection, dictionaries, associative arrays, etc. Key value stores help the developer to store
schema-less data. They work best for shopping cart contents.

Redis, Dynamo, Riak are some NoSQL examples of key-value store DataBases. They are all
based on Amazon’s Dynamo paper.

Column-based
Column-oriented databases work on columns and are based on BigTable paper by Google.
Every column is treated separately. Values of single column databases are stored contiguously.

Column based NoSQL database

They deliver high performance on aggregation queries like SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN etc. as
the data is readily available in a column.

Column-based NoSQL databases are widely used to manage data warehouses, business
intelligence, CRM, Library card catalogs,

HBase, Cassandra, HBase, Hypertable are NoSQL query examples of column based database.

Document-Oriented:
Document-Oriented NoSQL DB stores and retrieves data as a key value pair but the value part
is stored as a document. The document is stored in JSON or XML formats. The value is
understood by the DB and can be queried.

Relational Vs. Document


In the above diagram on your left you can see we have rows and columns, and in the right, we
have a document database which has a similar structure to JSON. Now for the relational
database, you have to know what columns you have and so on. However, for a document
database, you have data store like JSON object. You do not require to define which make it
flexible.

The document type is mostly used for CMS systems, blogging platforms, real-time analytics &
e-commerce applications. It should not use for complex transactions which require multiple
operations or queries against varying aggregate structures.

Amazon SimpleDB, CouchDB, MongoDB, Riak, Lotus Notes, MongoDB, are popular
Document originated DBMS systems.

Graph-Based

A graph type database stores entities as well the relations amongst those entities. The entity is
stored as a node with the relationship as edges. An edge gives a relationship between nodes.
Every node and edge has a unique identifier.

Compared to a relational database where tables are loosely connected, a Graph database is a
multi-relational in nature. Traversing relationship is fast as they are already captured into the
DB, and there is no need to calculate them.

Graph base database mostly used for social networks, logistics, spatial data.

Neo4J, Infinite Graph, OrientDB, FlockDB are some popular graph-based databases.
