+<p>Apache AsterixDB™ (incubating) is a highly scalable data management system that can store, index, and manage
 semi-structured data, e.g., much like MongoDB, but it also supports a full-power query language with the expressiveness
 of SQL (and more).
-Unlike analytics engines like Hive or Spark, it stores and manages data, so AsterixDB can exploit its knowledge
-of data partitioning and the availability of indexes to avoid always scanning data set(s) to process queries. Somewhat
-surprisingly, there is no open source parallel database system (relational or otherwise) available to developers today

-<p>Prior to being developed at the Apache Software Foundation AsterixDB was co-developed by a team of faculty, staff, and students at UC Irvine and UC Riverside.
-The project was initiated as a large NSF-sponsored project in 2009, the goal of which was to combine the best ideas from the parallel database world, the then new Hadoop world, and the semi-structured (e.g., XML/JSON) data world in order to create a next-generation BDMS.
-A first informal open source release was made four years later, in June of 2013, under the Apache Software License 2.0.
