SequoiaDB

SequoiaDB is a distributed relational database with a storage layer and a computing layer.

The storage layer is a database storage engine that uses the Raft algorithm to achieve data consistency across a distributed environment.

The computing layer consists of relational database instances such as a MySQL instance, semi-structured data access instances such as via JSON APIs, and/or unstructured data storage model instances such as with AWS S3.

Key features of SequoiaDB include

  • Distributed OLTP with availability and consistency guarantees
  • Petabyte-level horizontal scalability
  • Hybrid Transactional / Analytical Processing (HTAP)
  • 2-region 3-data-center recovery mechanisms

Indexes

B+Tree

Indexes in SequoiaDB use conventional B-trees. An index has the following fields:

  • name: a unique name for the index on the data set
  • key: a JSON object that defines the indexing criteria and direction
  • unique: an optional flag, default false, indicating if the indexing fields must be unique fields on the data set
  • enforced: an optional flag, default false, only effective if unique is set to true, indicating if the indexed fields must not be NULL

In addition to regular indexes, SequoiaDB supports full-text searching via Elasticsearch.
