Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for implementing a hybrid database. In an example method, a system receives an indication to process a data request. The system is configured as a hybrid database to dynamically switch between a stand-alone mode and a distributed mode. When the indication indicates to the system to process the data request in the stand-alone mode, the system switches the hybrid database to the stand-alone mode and processes the data request in the stand-alone mode. When the indication indicates to the system to process the data request in the distributed mode, the system switches the hybrid database to the distributed mode and processes the data request in the distributed mode.

Hybrid database implementations

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for transaction processing. In an example method, a system receives a first transaction. The system is configured as a hybrid database to dynamically switch between a stand-alone mode and a distributed mode. The system determines whether the first transaction is a stand-alone type of transaction or a distributed type of transaction. In response to determining that the first transaction is a stand-alone type of transaction, the system performs one or more operations of the first transaction in the stand-alone mode. In response to determining that the first transaction is a distributed type of transaction, the system performs one or more operations of the first transaction in the distributed mode.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for accessing a relational database using requests that conform to a non-structure query language syntax. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a client, a first access request that conforms to a NoSQL syntax for accessing a wide column store, wherein the first access request comprises a first event feature and a first attribute feature that are related to the wide column store, and the first attribute feature comprises a column family feature of the wide column store; translating the first access request into a second access request that conforms to a SQL syntax, wherein the second access request comprises a second event feature corresponding to the first event feature and a second attribute feature corresponding to the first attribute feature; and forwarding the second access request to a relational database.
