Column Family
{{Short description, A database project that organizes data in packed columns A column family is a database object that contains columns of related data. It is a tuple (pair) that consists of a key–value pair, where the key is mapped to a value that is a set of columns. In analogy with relational databases, a column family is as a "table", each key-value pair being a "row". Each column is a tuple ( triplet) consisting of a column name, a value, and a timestamp. In a relational database table A table is a collection of related data held in a table format within a database. It consists of columns and rows. In relational databases, and flat file databases, a ''table'' is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical colum ..., this data would be grouped together within a table with other non-related data. Two types of column families exist: * Standard column family: contains only columns * Super column family: contains a map of super columns See also * Keyspa ...

Tuple
In mathematics, a tuple is a finite ordered list (sequence) of elements. An -tuple is a sequence (or ordered list) of elements, where is a non-negative integer. There is only one 0-tuple, referred to as ''the empty tuple''. An -tuple is defined inductively using the construction of an ordered pair. Mathematicians usually write tuples by listing the elements within parentheses "" and separated by a comma and a space; for example, denotes a 5-tuple. Sometimes other symbols are used to surround the elements, such as square brackets "nbsp; or angle brackets "⟨ ⟩". Braces "" are used to specify arrays in some programming languages but not in mathematical expressions, as they are the standard notation for sets. The term ''tuple'' can often occur when discussing other mathematical objects, such as vectors. In computer science, tuples come in many forms. Most typed functional programming languages implement tuples directly as product types, tightly associated with algebr ...

Triplet (other)
A triplet is a set of three items, which may be in a specific order, or unordered. It may refer to: Science * A series of three nucleotide bases forming an element of the Genetic code * J-coupling as part of Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy * Opal in preparation to be a gemstone * Spin triplet in quantum mechanics — as in triplet oxygen, or triplet state in general * Tuple of length 3 in mathematics * Each of the children born in a three-child multiple birth; identical or fraternal, as are twins and quadruplets and quintuplets Technologies * Photography triplet or paint triplet * Triplet lens, optical device consisting of three single lenses * Tandem bicycle with three seats Other uses * In music, a tuplet of three successive notes of equal duration * ''The Triplets'', a Spanish children's book * The Triplets (band), a Latin pop group * A triplet, a kind of assembled gem * Triplets, the multiple birth of three children, whether identical or fraternal as are twins, qua ...

Timestamp
A timestamp is a sequence of characters or encoded information identifying when a certain event occurred, usually giving date and time of day, sometimes accurate to a small fraction of a second. Timestamps do not have to be based on some absolute notion of time, however. They can have any epoch, can be relative to any arbitrary time, such as the power-on time of a system, or to some arbitrary time in the past. The term "timestamp" derives from rubber stamps used in offices to stamp the current date, and sometimes time, in ink on paper documents, to record when the document was received. Common examples of this type of timestamp are a postmark on a letter or the "in" and "out" times on a time card. In modern times usage of the term has expanded to refer to digital date and time information attached to digital data. For example, computer files contain timestamps that tell when the file was last modified, and digital cameras add timestamps to the pictures they take, recording th ...

Relational Database
A relational database is a (most commonly digital) database based on the relational model of data, as proposed by E. F. Codd in 1970. A system used to maintain relational databases is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Many relational database systems are equipped with the option of using the SQL (Structured Query Language) for querying and maintaining the database. History The term "relational database" was first defined by E. F. Codd at IBM in 1970. Codd introduced the term in his research paper "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks". In this paper and later papers, he defined what he meant by "relational". One well-known definition of what constitutes a relational database system is composed of Codd's 12 rules. However, no commercial implementations of the relational model conform to all of Codd's rules, so the term has gradually come to describe a broader class of database systems, which at a minimum: # Present the data to the user as relati ...

Database Table
A table is a collection of related data held in a table format within a database. It consists of columns and rows. In relational databases, and flat file databases, a ''table'' is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows, the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect. A table has a specified number of columns, but can have any number of rows. Each row is identified by one or more values appearing in a particular column subset. A specific choice of columns which uniquely identify rows is called the primary key. "Table" is another term for "relation"; although there is the difference in that a table is usually a multiset (bag) of rows where a relation is a set and does not allow duplicates. Besides the actual data rows, tables generally have associated with them some metadata, such as constraints on the table or on the values within particular columns. The data in a table does not have to be physica ...

Standard Column Family
The standard column family is a NoSQL (concept), NoSQL object that contains Column (data store), columns of related data. It is a tuple (pair) that consists of a attribute–value pair, key–value pair, where the key is mapped to a value that is a set of columns. In analogy with relational databases, a standard column family is as a "table", each key–value pair being a "row". Each column is a tuple (triplet (other), triplet) consisting of a column name, a value, and a timestamp. In a Relational database, relational database table, this data would be grouped together within a table with other non-related data. Standard column families are column containers sorted by their names can be referenced and sorted by their row key. Benefits Accessing the data in a Distributed computing, distributed data store would be expensive (time-consuming), if it would be saved in form of a table. It would also be inefficient to read all column families that would make up a row in a relati ...

Super Column Family
A super column family is a NoSQL object that contains column families. It is a tuple (pair) that consists of a key–value pair, where the key is mapped to a value that are column families. In analogy with relational databases, a super column family is something like a "view" on a number of tables. It can also be seen as a map of tables. Benefits It is useful when making a data model to have some kind of a view on a number of tables. Using a super column family is something similar to that in distributed data stores. There are, however, no "joins" between the "tables", as data stores like Apache Cassandra are non-relational. Sorting and querying There is no way to sort super columns after they have been inserted, nor to query an arbitrary query in distributed data stores. Super columns are sorted when they are added to the column family, and it is also possible to use a different sorting attribute for the contained columns of a super column. Similar to the standard column fa ...

Super Column
A super column is a tuple (a pair) with a binary super column name and a value that maps it to many columns. They consist of a key–value pairs, where the values are columns. Theoretically speaking, super columns are ( sorted) associative array of columns. Similar to a regular column family where a row is a sorted map of column names and column values, a row in a super column family is a sorted map of super column names that maps to column names and column values. A super column is part of a keyspace together with other super columns and column families, and columns. Code example Written in the JSON-like syntax, a super column definition can be like this: Where: "databases" are keyspace; "Cassandra" and "HBase" are rowKeys; "name" and "address" are ''super column'' names; "firstName", "city", "age", etc. are column names. See also * Column (data store) A column of a distributed data store is a NoSQL object of the lowest level in a keyspace. It is a tuple (a k ...

Keyspace (NoSQL)
A keyspace (or key space) in a NoSQL data store is an object that holds together all column families of a design. It is the outermost grouping of the data in the data store. It resembles the schema concept in Relational database management systems. Generally, there is one keyspace per application. Structure A keyspace may contain column families or super columns. Each super column contains one or more column families, and each column family contains at least one column. The keyspace is the highest abstraction in a distributed data store. This is fundamental in preserving the structural heuristics in dynamic data retrieval. Multiple relay protocol algorithms are integrated within the simple framework. Comparison with relational database systems The keyspace has similar importance like a schema has in a database. In contrast to the schema, however, it does not stipulate any concrete structure, like it is known in the entity-relationship model used widely in the relational data mod ...
