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 distributed nodes.
The computing layer consists of relational database instances, which can be a MySQL instance, a semi-structured data access interface via, for example, JSON APIs, or an unstructured data storage interface with, for example, AWS S3.
Key features of SequoiaDB include distributed OLTP with availability and consistency guarantees, petabyte-level horizontal scalability, Hybrid Transactional / Analytical Processing (HTAP), and 2-region 3-data-center recovery mechanisms.
Indexes in SequoiaDB use conventional B-trees. An index has a unique name for the index on the data collection and a JSON object that defines the indexing criteria and direction. Indexes can be unique or non-unique. If an index is unique, it can be null-able or non-null-able.
In addition to regular indexes, SequoiaDB supports full-text searching via Elasticsearch.
