Hibernate OGM
The power and simplicity of JPA for NoSQL datastores. Including support for associations, sub-classes, queries and much more. The ride has just begun, so come and join us!
Many NoSQL stores, one standard way to access them
Hibernate Object/Grid Mapper (OGM) provides Java Persistence (JPA) support for NoSQL solutions. It reuses Hibernate ORM’s engine but persists entities into a NoSQL datastore instead of a relational database.
We know you have questions, we’ll answer them in the FAQ.
Wide range of backends
OGM talks to NoSQL backends via store-specific dialects. Currently there is support for
-
Key/Value: Infinispan, Ehcache
-
Document: MongoDB
-
Graph: Neo4j
Your favorite NoSQL store isn’t listed here? We’d love to get your help for adding it.
Rich query capabilities
Hibernate OGM supports several ways for searching entities and returning them as Hibernate managed objects:
-
JP-QL queries (we convert them into a native backend query)
-
datastore specific native queries
-
full-text queries, using Hibernate Search as indexing engine
And more…
-
When JPA isn’t enough, Hibernate OGM extends it with family-specific and product-specific options. That way, the power of the backend is at your fingertips. All that in a type-safe way.
-
Mixing several NoSql datastores in one application, e.g. use Neo4j for your friendship graph and MongoDB for your blog posts. Or mix NoSql and relational databases (coming soon)
-
Support for implicit data migrations upon data load (coming soon)
-
Denormalize data declaratively for faster retrieval (coming soon)
