Trees are read-only, though they are merged in the background with Is created and the old tree synced to disk. Once the in-memory tree reaches a threshold size, a new in-memory tree Instead of updating in place, data is "chunked" and from here: LSM trees cascade data over time from smaller, higher performing (but more expensive) stores to larger less performant (and less expensive) stores. to adopt many of their paradigms (or embrace and extend them to coin a phrase).Īgain, it's a complex technology about which reams could be written, but from here:Īt the heart of the LSM algorithm is a rolling merge process. IMHO, these NewSQL systems are the way of the future and I expect to see Oracle, SQL Server &c. It's fascinating to watch the evolution of the database ecosphere - new SSD chip technology, and for me, the most interesting development is the recent focus on LSM ( Log Structured Merge tree) which is widely used in NoSQL systems and also NewSQL ones. the classic RDBMS, and I'll go no further down this avenue other than to urge you to read around the topic. One could write entire essays (as indeed I have in College) on NoSQL vs. Persistence, NoSQL and relational databases are now commonly usedĪnd indeed many NoSQL systems (it's difficult to say "vendors" since many of these systems are Open Source) are scrambling (or have scrambled) to put SQL interfaces on top of their systems because so many programmers are familiar with that paradigm (and it's one which has worked well over the years). SQL like queries, but because in a world of microservices and polyglot It's important to emphasize that the "No" in "NoSQL" is anĪbbreviation for "not only" and not the actual word "No." Thisĭistinction is important not only because many NoSQL databases support there is a model, it's just not a relational one!Īs an aside, it's well worth reading the entire article - it's detailed and well written! The key (pardon the pun) word here is modeled - i.e. In means other than the tabular relations used in relational Provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled Wikipedia puts it very well when it says NoSQL: NoSQL is not about having no schema, it's more about having a flexible schema! No - a single table relational database is more akin to a spreadsheet than a NoSQL database.
