NoSQL Data Models

By: Olivier Pivert

Overview of this book

Big Data environments are now to be handled in most current applications, this book addresses the latest issues and hurdles that are encountered in such environments. The book begins by presenting an overview of NoSQL languages and systems. Then, you’ll evaluate SPARQL queries over large RDF datasets and devise a solution that will use the MapReduce framework to process SPARQL graph patterns. Next, you’ll handle the production of web data, generate a set of links between two different datasets and overcome different heterogeneity problems. Moving ahead, you’ll take the multi-graph based approach to overcome challenges faced by the RDF data management community. Finally, you’ll deal with the flexible querying of graph databases and textual data management. By the end of this book, you’ll have gathered essential information on big data challenges faced by NoSQL databases.

4.4. Unique access for all data stores

4.4.1. Introduction

In some cases, applications want to explicitly store and manipulate their data in multiple data stores. Applications already know the set of data stores to use and how to distribute their data on these sources. However, in order to simplify the development process, application developers do not want to manipulate different proprietary APIs, especially when interacting with multiple data stores (e.g. relational, NoSQL, etc.). Two classes of solutions can be used in this case. The first is based on the definition of a neutral API capable of supporting access to the different data stores. The second class is based on the model-driven architecture and engineering methodology [POO 01].

In this section, we focus exclusively on the first class of solutions to ease access to multiple data stores (especially NoSQL and relational data stores). Stonebraker [STO 11] exposes the problems and the limits that a user may encounter while using...
