Abstract

Large amounts of data (BigData) are nowadays stored using NoSQL databases and typically stored and accessed using a key-value format. However, depending on the NoSQL database type, different performance is offered. Thus, in this paper, NoSQL database performance is evaluated and compared in aspects relating with, query performance, based on reads and updates.

In this paper, the five most popular NoSQL databases are tested and evaluated: MongoDB; Cassandra; HBase; OrientDB; Voldemort; Memcached and Redis. To assess the mentioned databases, are used, workloads represented by Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark.

Results allow users to choose the NoSQL database that better fits application needs.
