MapR 5.1 is at End of Life (EOL) and no longer supported. Please see the latest documentation. This documentation is not being updated.

5.1 DB & Streams
This section covers the MapR-DB, MapR-Streams, and MapR-Gateways features. Each feature may contain both administrator and developer topics.
- MapR-DB
  - Architecture of MapR-DB
    MapR-DB's architecture gives it a large of advantages over other NoSQL databases.
  - Performance Enhancements for SSD Based MapR-DB Deployments
  - MapR-DB as a Document Database
    MapR-DB supports OJAI documents as a native data store. OJAI documents are stored in a compact binary format, not as plain ASCII text.
  - MapR-DB as a Wide-Column Database
- MapR Streams
  MapR Streams brings integrated publish/subscribe messaging to the MapR Converged Data Platform.
- MapR Gateways
  A MapR gateway mediates one-way communication between a source MapR cluster and a destination cluster. MapR-DB binary tables and MapR Streams streams can be replicated.

MapR-DB

MapR-DB is an enterprise-grade, high-performance, in-Hadoop, NoSQL (“Not Only SQL”) database management system. You can use it to add real-time, operational analytics capabilities to Hadoop.
