Data Warehouse Types

Product Type Overview

  • Standard data warehouse: It can analyze hot and cold data and is highly cost-effective. Its storage and computing resources are not limited, and can be elastically scaled and billed per use. It is suitable for the converged analysis that requires integrated databases, warehouses, marts, and lakes. It is most suitable for OLAP workloads.
  • Standard data warehouse (DWS 3.0): It uses the cloud-native, cost-effective architecture with decoupled storage and computing. It supports hot and cold data analysis, elastic scaling of storage and computing, unlimited computing power and capacity, and pay-per-use pricing. It is applicable to OLAP analysis scenarios.
  • Hybrid data warehouse: It provides high-concurrency, high-performance, and low-latency transaction processing capabilities at low costs based on large-scale data query and analysis capabilities. The data warehouse can be used to process HTAP hybrid loads, and can be deployed in standalone or cluster mode.
  • Stream data warehouse: It provides efficient time series computing and IoT analysis capabilities based on the standard data warehouse and supports correlation between real-time and historical data. The compression ratio can reach 40:1. It can be used for IoT real-time analysis.

GaussDB(DWS) data warehouses cannot access each other. You can create an OBS foreign table to associate two databases in the same data directory for data query.

  • A hybrid data warehouse deployed in standalone mode cannot be changed to the distributed mode. Scaling, logical cluster operations, and resource management are not supported.
  • A hybrid data warehouse deployed in standalone mode does not support snapshots, DMS monitoring, or MRS data sources.
  • In a hybrid data warehouse deployed in standalone mode, the original syntax for specifying distribution columns will be ignored. Scheduled jobs, the sequence type, HDFS/OBS foreign table import and export, multi-temperature storage, and auto-increment partitioned tables are not supported. OBS foreign table import and export are supported in 8.2.0 and later versions.
  • Only GaussDB(DWS) 3.0 clusters of 9.0.2 and later versions support the snapshot function.
