Open-Source Projects
Here are the key components of Greenplum Database, which are open to the community for contribution.
If you have any new requests or new ideas on the open-source project, reach out to us on GitHub!
Greenplum Database
The Greenplum Database (gpdb) code base (repo) is the Greenplum Database server-side repo that implements an open-source PostgresSQL-based MPP database.
Diskquota
Diskquota project aims to enhance the disk space management function of Greenplum Database. It implements disk space quota management based on various database objects such as schema and role.
PXF
PXF is a general framework for Greenplum Database to connect and access external data, such as HDFS files, HIVE tables and HBase.
PL/Container
PL/Container uses Docker container technology to provide a secure and customizable runtime environment for the procedural language of Greenplum Database. Users can use PL/Container to create and modify user-defined functions (UDF) based on untrusted language.
gpbackup & gprestore
They are Greenplum Database Backup and Restore utilities. Includes a pluggable storage API, and plugins such as the gpbackup_s3_plugin which allows for Greenplum Database to be backed up and restored from s3 compatible file systems.
GreenplumPython
GreenplumPython is a Python library that enables the user to interact with Greenplum in a Pythonic way.
Apache MADlib
Apache MADlib is an open-source distributed database-based machine learning algorithm library that supports Greenplum Database and PostgresSQL. It can perform native data analysis, machine learning modeling and other functions.
