With the rise of location-aware IoT devices, there is an increased desire to process and manage the stationary and moving trajectory data generated by these real-time sensors. There has been a corresponding evolution of distributed database and compute technology to handle the increasing data load. Here we describe challenges in managing this kind of data and survey the technologies that address those challenges. We evaluate two distributed database technologies against a simulated high volume sensor data source and discuss the performance of predominant moving trajectory access patterns.
