Azure Cosmos DB

Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed database service designed to enable you to elastically and independently scale throughput and storage across any number of geographical regions with comprehensive SLAs. You can develop document, key/value, or graph databases with Cosmos DB using a series of popular APIs and programming models.

SQL API:
With the SQL API, Azure Cosmos DB provides rich and familiar SQL query capabilities with consistent low latencies over schema-less JSON data. In this article, we provide an overview of the Azure Cosmos DB’s SQL API, and how to best use the API.

Gremlin API:
Azure Cosmos DB provides the Gremlin API for graph modeling and traversal, along with turn-key global distribution, elastic scaling of storage and throughput, and low latency.

Cassandra API
Azure Cosmos DB supports the Cassandra API. This means that by using existing drivers, your application written for Cassandra can now communicate with Azure Cosmos DB instead of Apache Cassandra/Datastax Enterprise databases, and gain benefits like global distribution and elastic scale.

MongoDB API:
Azure Cosmos DB supports the MongoDB API. This means that by using existing drivers, your application written for MongoDB can now communicate with Cosmos DB instead of MongoDB databases, and gain benefits like global distribution & elastic scale.

Table API:
Azure Cosmos DB provides the Table API for key-value workloads. This provides a premium experience for Azure Table storage with secondary indexes, global distribution, low latency, and dedicated throughput.

How can we improve Azure Cosmos DB?

  3. Support Table API queries from PowerBI

    Currently, I can't query Table Storage in Azure Cosmos DB from Power BI. I have a lot of useful data stored there but I can't report on it.

  4. implement Table API for premium tier Azure Blob Storage

    The Table API for Azure Blob Storage works well in scenarios which contain a large number of small databases.

    The premium pricing tier for Azure Blob block storage offers an upgrade in speed for those who want better performance than standard tier and are willing to pay. The price for premium blob storage is about twice that of standard, but still very inexpensive for small data sets.

    I'm aware of Cosmos DB and that Cosmos DB is currently the upgrade path for those who want better performance than Table API with blob storage. I'm also aware of the $20/month pricing…

    Hello Robin. Table support for Change Feed is not on our current roadmap but we do anticipate providing this capability in the future.

    When this moves into our current development cycle I will update this here so you are notified.

    Thank you for your suggestion.

  8. Table Strorage JAVA SDK Performance Tuning

    Table Storage JAVA SDK does not provide concurrency option for any of its operation. We are getting TPS of around 500 for table insert queries but it is also because we have designed our data model such that.
    Async functionality is available for Table Storage C sharp SDK but not for JAVA SDK.
    It would be good if there is concurrency option for Table Storage Java SDK.

  9. Extend Bulk Executor to cover Cosmos Db Table Api

    Bulk Executor api is very powerful but does only support Document db. We would ideally want to use Table api because Document db api does not support OData. But we also work with a high throughput in a big data pipeline where we use Bulk Ingestor api to do the data ingestion which does not work in Table api. It would be nice to have same bulk ingestion functionality for Table api
