Baidu Tera vs Instaclustr Managed Apache Kafka

Baidu Tera is a free, self-hosted distributed NoSQL database for real-time applications. It stores sparse, multidimensional tables indexed by row key, column key and timestamp, with the project describing scale to petabytes across thousands of commodity servers. Tera supports strict consistency, MVCC, automatic failover, online schema changes and snapshots. Configurable automatic sharding can use ranged or hashed strategies, with linear and modular scalability. Storage options include RAMDISK, SSD and disk tables, plus tiered and block caches and Bloom Filters for real-time queries. Applications can connect through C++, Java, Python and REST APIs. Its architecture includes an SDK, master and tablet servers using an enhanced LevelDB engine. Deployment can use raw machines or Docker, with pseudo-distributed operation on one host. The repository lists BSD-3-Clause and Apache-2.0 licenses.
