MapR Database

MapR Database is an enterprise-grade, high-performance, NoSQL database management system that you can use for real-time, operational analytics.

Why MapR Database?

MapR Database is built into the MapR Data Platform platform. It requires no additional process to manage, leverages the same architecture as the rest of the platform, and requires minimal additional management.
The MapR Database and Apps section provides information and examples on developing applications for MapR Database binary and JSON tables.This section provides information on how to adminster tables, table regions, and column families. The tools for performing administration are the MCS (MapR Control System) user interface and the maprcli.The MapR Database architecture covers topics associated with database design issues.
