MapR-DB is an enterprise-grade, high performance, in-Hadoop NoSQL (“Not Only SQL”) database management system. It is used to add real-time, operational analytics capabilities to Hadoop. NoSQL primarily addresses two critical data architecture requirements:

  • Scalability to address the increasing volumes and velocity of your data
  • Flexibility to store the variety of useful data types and formats

MapR-DB is available in MapR Enterprise Database Edition for business-critical environments. It is also available for unlimited production use in the freely downloadable MapR Community Edition.

In addition to MapR-DB, MapR supports another popular NoSQL database, Apache HBase™, which runs faster and more reliably on MapR.

KEY FEATURES

Real-Time Operational Analytics

Operational analytics entails analyzing live, operational data immediately to deliver outputs in real time. With MapR-DB and Hadoop on the same cluster, you add immediacy to the analysis of your live, operational data, without needing to copy data across separate clusters. This converges the real-time data access of NoSQL databases with the large-scale parallel processing of Hadoop. A few examples of operational analytics use cases include customer service optimization, real-time ad targeting, real-time personalization, and logistics route optimization.

Unified Data Access

By integrating Hadoop and NoSQL data in one platform, you get a single source of truth which can be accessed by a variety of methods. You can update a more comprehensive set of data and still have your analysis tools—including business intelligence, visualizations, SQL-based querying, and search—available in the same interface. With that unified view, you get the complete picture of data that you need for gaining better business-critical insights.

Architectural/Administrative Simplicity

A simplified architecture means less risk when running a production system. It reduces the potential for error and time-consuming troubleshooting that complexity brings. The consolidated platform also reduces the costs of maintaining two separate clusters. You no longer have duplicated effort around system administration, high availability and disaster recovery setup, data governance, security configuration, auditing, and system upgrades. Duplicate software licenses—for business intelligence, data governance, data integration, etc.—across clusters are also eliminated, reducing unnecessary technology expenditures.

The Power of MapR – Reliability, Security, Performance, Scalability

All the powerful features that make the MapR Distribution including Apache Hadoop ready for business-critical production deployments are also available for MapR-DB. With the optimized, integrated architecture that treats all data similarly, MapR requires no additional administration for the NoSQL data. High performance, extreme scalability, high availability, disaster recovery, snapshots, integrated security, multi-tenancy, and low administrative overhead all make MapR an ideal platform for your production-ready operational analytics.
