What is NoSQL Database?

NoSQL databases (additionally called as Not Only SQL Databases) are non-relationaldatabase systems used for Storing and Retrieving data. These days NoSQL Databases are vigorously utilized as a part of real-time web applications. NoSQL databases can likewise be said as Big Data databases or Cloud databases. NoSQL Databases are quicker in contrast of SQL Databases and thus NoSQL Databases are utilized as a part of a Big Data applications. Before utilizing any specific NoSQL Database you ought to check its component first on the grounds that each NoSQL Database has it claim set of functionalities. Now, we will go for Most popular NoSQL database and Best NoSQL Database for 2016 and 2017 year.

NoSQL Database Types

• Document Databases – These Db usually pair each key with a complex data structure which is called  a document. Documents can contain  key-array pairs or key-value pairs or even nested documents.
• Key-value stores – Every single item is stored as a Key-value pair. Key-value stores are the most simple among NoSQL Databases.
• Wide-column stores – These types of Databases are optimized for queries over large data sets, and instead of rows, they store columns of data together.
• Graph stores – These store information about graphs, networks, such as social connections.

CouchDB is an Open Source NoSQL Database which utilizes JSON to store information and JavaScript as its query language. CouchDB applies a type of Multi-Version Controlling system for avoiding the blockage of the DB file during writing. It is Erlang. It’s authorized under Apache. It is ranked 1st for Best NoSQL Database 2016 list for popularity.

2. MongoDB

MongoDB is the most well known among NoSQL Databases. It is an Open-Source database which is Document oriented. MongoDB is a scalable and accessible database. It is in C++.MongoDB can likewise be utilized as the file system. In MongoDB, JavaScript can be utilized as the query language. By utilizing sharding MongoDB scales horizontally. It is very useful with popular javascript frameworks.

3.Cassandra

Cassandra is a distributed data storage system for handling very large amounts of structured data. Generally, these data are spread out across many commodity servers. Cassandra gives you the maximal flexibility to distribute the data. You can also add storage capacity of your data keeping your service online and you can do this task easily. As all the nodes in a cluster are same, there is no complex configuration to deal with. Cassandra is written in Java. It supports MapReduce with Apache Hadoop. Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is an SQL-like language for querying Cassandra Database.

4.Redis

Redis is a key-value store. Furthermore, it is the most famous key-value store. Redis has support for some C++, PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl, Scala and so forth. Redis is composed in C language.
Furthermore, it is authorized under BSD.

5. HBase

HBase is a distributed and non-relational database which is designed for the BigTable database by Google. One of the main goals of HBase is to host Billions of rows X millions of columns. You can add servers anytime to increase capacity. And multiple master nodes will ensure high availability of your data. HBase is composed in Java 8. It’s authorized under Apache. Hbase accompanies simple to utilize Java API for customer access.

I am working on other 5 databases for best NoSQL database 2016 2017 year list. We are researching on MariaDB and it’s popularity among programmers.

We are recently taking a survey from different programmers who are available on google plus social media. We did a survey for all SQL and NOSQL databases. You can see most popular database for 2016.
