Databases traditionally serve “Big Data”, with a large toolkit for speeding up both performance and convenience: delclarative queries, indexing, replication, parallelization, etc. Still, for many recent applications their table-oriented paradigm is too limited. In terms of data structures, two core contributors to today’s Big Data are graph data and multi-dimensional arrays, according to database vendors like Oracle and IBM. “NewSQL” databases may help here (which actually is a buzzword for spicing up databases to match new needs while not forgetting about existing goodies).
