Explain TitanDB 1.0.0 Architecture vs OrientDB architecture?

Question

I have to compare and contrast between them. So any one can explain it or give any reference?

Answer 1

Here are a few differences between OrientDB and Titan.

1. Data Models

   OrientDB is a multi-model database - it claims to support both document (like mongodb) and graph formats (like Titan) in one database. OrientDB Multi-model

   Titan is a single-model database - it claims to store graph data.

2. Storage Fromat

   OrientDB uses a custom storage format on disk. OrientDB Storage

   Titan uses one of 3 types of external databases to store data. It uses a customized serialization process to store data in the database. Titan Storage Backends

3. Distributed Architecture

   OrientDB uses a memory grid called Hazelcast to achieve a distributed deployment. OrientDB in distributed mode

   Titan uses the underlying data store (HBase or Cassandra) to achieve a distributed architecture. HBase uses Zookeeper to coordinate. Cassandra uses its Gossip protocol to coordinate.

4. APIs

   OrientDB has both custom and TinkerPop Java APIs to access its data. OrientDB Java APIs

   Titan exclusively uses TinkerPop APIs for data access. (From the Titan documentation: Native support for the popular property graph data model exposed by TinkerPop. Native support for the graph traversal language Gremlin.)
