“…In addition to this, one of the major advantages of these databases is that they are able to change their attributes owing to their weak structure. This also results in the provision of convenient modification while developing interactive applications [35] .…”

“…The data pattern is changing rapidly with the rapid development of applications [35,36] . However, there exists a myth that the NoSQL databases are immune to injections [35] . Companies are deploying big data architectures according to their requirements and are very well aware of the security concerns involved.…”

“…The study reported that the Cassandra performance showed a strong capability of processing 3 200 operations/s, Riak processed 480 operations/s, and MongoDB processed 225 operations/s [12] . The security was and will always be a concern in terms of databases [35,36] . The data pattern is changing rapidly with the rapid development of applications [35,36] .…”
