Innovative
This project enhances the concept of traditional key-value stores by a bounding box. This makes it possible to store data in a more efficient way.
Distributed
Data is stored distributed and highly available. No single point of failure does exist.
Scalable
BBoxDB can be scaled up to handle big data by adding additional nodes.
Multidimensional
BBoxDB supports multidimensional data (point and non-point) with any dimension.
Open Source
The software is developed as an open source project at GitHub. The code is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
Joins / Locality
Data is stored co-partitioned, which enables efficient query processing. Distributed selections and spatial joins are supported out-of-the-box.
