TileDB

TileDB is a multi-dimentional array management system which uses an on-disk format that can store dense and sparse array data with support for fast updates. Current open-source version of TileDB functions as a storage layer, connecting user applications to storage backend.[04][05]

TileDB

TileDB is a multi-dimentional array management system which uses an on-disk format that can store dense and sparse array data with support for fast updates. Current open-source version of TileDB functions as a storage layer, connecting user applications to storage backend.[04][05]

History[06]

TileDB was invented at the Intel Science and Technology Center for Big Data, a collaboration between Intel Labs and MIT. The research project was published in a VLDB 2016 paper. TileDB, Inc. was founded in February 2017 to further develop and maintain the DBMS.

Checkpoints[07]

Not Supported

TileDB does not support checkpoints at the current stage.

Compression[05]

Dictionary Encoding Run-Length Encoding

TileDB supports the following compressors: GZIP, Zstandard, LZ4, RLE, Bzip2, and Double-delta. Double-delta is a compressor created for TileDB, and is similar to Facebook's Gorilla system.

Concurrency Control[07]

Not Supported

TileDB provides no transaction support in the current version. It only guarantees atomic reads and writes.

Data Model[05]

Array / Matrix

TileDB uses a multi-dimensional array format that handles both sparse data and dense data.

Foreign Keys[07]

Not Supported

TileDB does not support foreign keys at the current stage.

Isolation Levels[07]

Read Uncommitted

TileDB provides no transaction support in the current version, and no isolation could be guaranteed.

Joins[07]

Not Supported

TileDB does not support join operations at the current stage.

Logging[07]

Not Supported

TileDB does not support logging at the current stage.

Query Interface[08]

Custom API

TileDB supports API for the following languages: C, C++, Python, Java, R, and Go.

Storage Architecture[09]

Disk-oriented

TileDB uses a disk-oriented storage format that can store dense and sparse array data and support fast updates.

Storage Model[08]

Decomposition Storage Model (Columnar)

TileDB supports columnar format for different attributes stored in arrays.

Stored Procedures[07]

Not Supported

TileDB does not support stored procedures at the current stage.

Views[07]

Not Supported

TileDB does not support views at the current version.
