We discuss applying column store techniques to both graph (RDF) and relational data for mixed workloads ranging from lookup to analytics in the context of the OpenLink Virtuoso DBMS. In so doing, we need to obtain the excellent memory efficiency, locality and bulk read throughput that are the hallmark of column stores while retaining low-latency random reads and updates, under serializable isol...

Facebook Messages, which combines messages, chat and email into a real-time conversation, is the first application in Facebook to use HBase in production. In this article, we will discuss why we chose HBase for this use case, the early improvements we did to make HBase production ready, engineering and operational challenges encountered along the way, and the continued work we have had to do on...

Researchers in several scientific disciplines are struggling to cope with the masses of data resulting from either increasingly precise instruments or from simulation runs on ever more powerful supercomputers. Efficiently managing this deluge of data has become key to understand the phenomena they are studying. Scientists in the simulation sciences, for example, build increasingly big and detai...
